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 the flower so sweetly,Then, in my hands, they died.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,The flower of God's design,

Then how can I have the wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So, I'll trust in Him for leading Each moment of my day,

I will look to Him for His guidance

Each step of the Pilgrim's 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.
