INC converts know what I mean, I am just thankful to be with my Brothers and Sisters.
I Hide myself within a flower,

that's dieing very slowy.

The petals which were once proud and full of life

Are now wrinkling by the hour.

I hide myself within a flower

Whose stem is weak and deep roots are sore;

Whose head was once proud as it gazed above

Is now a memory, and nothing more.

I hide myself within a flower,

Stepped on, and ignored but expecting nothing less

Its sweet scent is lost with its beauty

So much pain, and only angles know the rest

I am inside within a flower

cold and scared

Lost and forgotten

I wonder if they can hear me scream beyond the rose petals??

In the field I sit weak amongst the fallen in the meadows…??

But a new day has come

Because u did hear me scream;

YOU herd my crys and tears

As I fell down on my knees.

And I realized that because of YOUR glory and mercy that I am called

So I rise beyond the field

Proud standing tall

YOU have saved me!!
YOU have saved my life and found me

My God, how can I repay YOU for a treasure like this

How can I show YOU my thanks for this blessed gift??

Beacuse I am called, I THANK YOU SO MUCH LORD

Giving everything I own is not enough

Because I can give more

Even singing YOUR praise to the heavens isn't enough,

Because I can sing louder

As I walk with my Brethren to meet You, I look back at that flower,

I stare and wonder,

even tempted to go back and hold it in my hand

But instead, I move forward with pride and joy
just to follow the Lamb

I can't repay you, but I thank you my Lord

And I will march with you

Now and forevermore.
