Original Words and Music by Robert E. Wentzel

Beautiful Rose of Sharon, Bright and Morning Star,
I bask in the wonder and glory of Who You are.
In You I found love, I found hope and resurrection power,
And the peace and strength to face my darkest hour.
The Beautiful Rose was broken one day at Calvary
The perfect lamb bore sin and shame for all including me
It satisfied the Father when the aroma reached His nose
And it’s fragrance draws the heart of man unto the Broken Rose

Chorus:
As gentle as Your work in me
Soft as petals, may my touch be
And may my thorns remind me how
My sin placed thorns upon your brow
Spirit of the Rose, dwell in me
So that this suffering world could see
A life that has been made brand new
When heartaches come, if broken, Lord, I’ll smell like You.

Weak and weary, sick and broken before You
In spite of grief and pain I feel, I know it's true
Though Your ways confuse me, yet it's always understood
For those You chose and love, You'll work it all for good

Chorus:

Look like You...point a weak and weary world to You
Beautiful Rose of Sharon, Bright and Morning Star,
I bask in the wonder and glory of Who You Are.
