She`s A Rose From The Garden Of Prayer Lyrics

Words & Music by C.E. "Hank" Snow



There's a heart that is broken today

There is someone who waits far away

One who's kneeling in prayer as she waits for me there

Asking that I might comeback some day.

Her hands are all wrinkled with care

The gold has all gone from her hair

How I long to caress her my mother God bless her

She's a rose from the garden of prayer.



When I was a boy at her knee

She was more than a mother to me

As I gaze into space I can see her sweet face

As I stood by her old rocking chair.

When cares would impress on my brow

Or someone would turn me away

She would always be near me to comfort and cheer me

She's a rose from the garden of prayer.



So I'm leaving and heading that way

To a mother so feeble and grey

Where she waits there alone in our Heaven called home

By the window she's watching for me.

Soon my sorrows and troubles will end

Where all nature is blooming so fair

And I'll rest in the arms of the one that is true

She' my rose from the garden of prayer.
