Symbol Of His Love (2015)

FAWM 2015

Symbol Of His Love (13 - Tree Challenge - Feb 15)

Second attempt at the Flowering Dogwood for @donna's tree challenge. Not quite sure of the structure, but as it's sacred music the repetitive sections could work well.

Lyrics

Sacrifice and passion
Hardworking and true
This is what he showed to me
What I return to you

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

Joyful in hardship
Simplicity or strife
A miracle in every hue
Creator gave us life

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

From my wood
You could make a dagger
Bring pain or protection
From my wood
You could carve a winepress
Bring joy to every party

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love

Each of my flowers
Shows the sign of the cross
The nails in his hands and feet
The crown of thorns
Each of my flowers
Tells of the resurrection
Suffering, eternal redemption
Purpose to be borne

Practical - yet beautiful
When I bloom at Easter
Blanketing the valleys
In the symbol of his love
