Andrew Peterson Mary Picked The Roses Lyrics

Mary Picked The Roses Lyrics

Mary picked the roses early in the morn 

Mary picked the roses as the day
was being born 

Mary picked the roses to smell their sweet perfume 

Mary picked the roses, but Jesus made them bloom 



Joseph carved
a table from a piece of wood 

Joseph carved a table. It was his livelihood


Joseph carved a table where kings could sit to eat 

Joseph carved a
table, but Jesus made the tree 



And I write songs 

These
songs I sing 

I'd have none if not for Him 

And I know whence came
the tunes 

Because Jesus made the roses 

Jesus made the roses bloom




I will soon be leaving. I will soon be gone 

I will soon be
leaving, but I leave for you my songs 

Though this life is feleeting, and
time is no one's friend 

I will soon be leaving, but Jesus never ends 



And I write songs 

These songs I sing 

I'd have none if
not for Him 

And I know whence came the tunes 

Because Jesus made
the roses 

Jesus made the roses bloom
