A Rose beneath the Cross

I will place my heart beneath the cross as a   flower of love for you

and there to stay forever more to grow with love for you.

With petals soft, no thorns to pierce

 your sacred skin, to cling to you forever

for God you are my love, to cover all your      nakedness with petals of the rose.  

O Lord Divine, O Lord Divine.

My God you are my love. 

I thirst for you within my heart at times

I know that I am weak. 

Oh drops of blood fall down on me

from your sacred wounds above so

I can stay forever a rose beneath your cross
