Essence Of A Rose

Have you ever bathed in the essence,
Of a rose as it whispers,
Softly covering you in the sweetness,
During night's evening vespers?

It's just one way that He loves you for,
His Love's beautiful that flows,
With a sweetness that's in full bouquet,
In aroma like the rose.

It's the Lord Jesus Himself letting,
You know He's there just to hear,
You cry out for another's healing,
For He loves you and He's near.

Have you breathed in His Divine essence,
Drifting off to sleep's dreamland,
Loving the Lord with all your heart and,
Then perceive the Lord's at hand?

It's the way that He Loves letting you,
Know He's there with you a time,
Because He cares about you and your,
Feelings giving hope sublime.

Have you ever felt His Love cover,
You in a warmth so Divine,
And sweet being with you forever,
Too is it ever like mine?

How precious to bathe in His essence,
The essence of His Presence,
His Fullness of Love, His flowering,
Of Eternal Existence.

Have you known a scent precious and sweet,
As this rose's existence,
Since it's everlastingly lovely,
In it's Divine persistence?

Oh bathe in His essence of a rose,
Wherever you are and stand,
In His scent loving and breathing in,
Knowing the Lord holds your hand.

Take a deep breath breathing in that sweet,
Fragrance that seems to be close,
At hand all around you everywhere,
For it's precisely God's Rose.

His whispering scent lingers as you,
Graciously love and savor,
And just know too the Lord's Presence is,
There allowing you favor.

It's the way that He loves in a way,
For you only when He calls,
Bestowing sweetly His whispering,
Essence ever as it falls.
