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.
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.
Bridge: D Bm G D G D Em A G Em D Bm G Em G
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.
