God's Roses Never Die
Written By: Paul A. Lindsey
This song was written on the afternoon of May 4 2003, The Sunday before Mothers Day.
The day an F-4 tornado hit our town. 11 people were killed.
This is for them and their famlies

The (G)old (C)church was (G)crowded
The day they (C)laid my mom to (G)rest
(C)People came from (G)everywhere
To hear what the preacher (D)said(D7)
He said that (G)momma (C)lived a (G)good life
But (C)now she had to (G)go
She's (C)livin' up in (G)heaven
Cause she's (D)heaven's sweet(D7)est (G)rose"(G7)

chorus:
Down (C)here they wilt and (D7)fade away
(G)But roses (C)never (G)die
Cause he (A)takes them up to (A7)glory
There to (D)live eternal (D7)life
(G)Some are (C)old, (G)some are young
When He takes them (G7)up on (C)high
But as sure as there's a (G)heaven
God's (D7)roses never (G)die

Mamma (G)taught (C)me bout (G)Jesus
Since (C)I was just a (G)kid
(C)She sang and prayed and (G)showed me Him 
In everything she (D)did(D7)
She said. (G)"Son he'll (C)be the (G)dearest friend
That (C)you ever (G)had
He'll (C)be someone to (G)turn to
When your (D)alone (D7)and (G)sad"

Now (G)roses (C)were her (G)favorite
But she (C)loved them all the (G)same
(C)I remember how she (G)worked so hard
And never did com(D)plain(D7)
She took (G)care of (C)her little (G)garden
Sometimes (C)it was all she (G)had
Its where (C)she would talk with (G)Jesus
And He'd (D)always make her (G)glad(G7)

Down (C)here they wilt and (D7)fade away
(G)But roses (C)never (G)die
Cause He (A)takes them up to (A7)glory
There to (D)live eternal (D7)life
(G)Some are (C)old and (G)some are young
When He takes them (G7)up on (C)high
But as sure as there's a (G)heaven
God's (D7)roses never (G)die

tag:
Yeah, (G)some are (C)old and (G)some are young
When He takes them (G7)up on (C)high
But as sure as there's a (G)heaven
God's (D7)roses never (G)die(G7)

Yeah, just as (C)sure as there's a (G)heaven
God's (D)roses(D7) never(C) die(D7)(G)
