FRAGILE FLOWER                                          © Peter S. Barratt, March/June 1994


D           Bm       G           D
Fragile flower, bending low
G              D         Em        A
Bowed beneath a fall of snow
G                  Em         D          Bm
Though you fade and fall to ground
G            Em           G          A
In God's arms you will be found

D           Bm       G           D
Fragile flower, precious one
G              D         Em        A
Lent by Him who lent His son
G           Em    D      Bm
Like an angel in the night
G            Em                G           A     G  A
Healing comes with dawning
light.

Chorus 1

   G       Em     A        D Bm
   Fragile flower
blossoms still
   G      Em        A       D
   On the slopes of Zion's hill
   Bm     F#m     G     A
   Tended by her loving Lord
   G   D     Bm      Em    G  A
   She will grow and be restored.

God's dear love and gracious gifts
Sometimes will bring pain like this
Yet grief will crumble into dust
When we see Him as we must.

Fragile flower, now we see
You were always meant to be
From the genesis of time
You were in the Father's mind.

Chorus 2

   Fragile flowers often grow
   Soon to wither in the snow
   Though they fade before our eyes
   Heaven's light will see them rise.
