UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD

It is only a tiny rosebud,
 A flower of GOD's design;
 But I cannot unfold the petals
 With these clumsy hands of mine.
 The secret of unfolding flowers
 Is not known to such as I.

GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
 When in my hands they fade and die.
 If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
 This flower of GOD's design,
 Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

 So I'll trust in Him for His leading
 Each moment of every day.
 I will look to Him for His guidance
 Each step of the pilgrim way.

 The pathway that lies before me,
 Only my heavenly Father knows.
 I'll trust Him to unfold the moments, 
Just as He unfolds the rose.
