Original Artist - God's Roses Never Die guitar chord

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)
