A
white rose that bloomed bright as I woke up one morn Left a blossom so pure on the loom of my heart Where the angels weave fabric, where time and space start.
A white rose at the nexus where North and South meet To adorn East and West, warp and woof of each beat! In the glow of the center, Cosmic Cross of White Fire In the flaming yod enter, Jesu Joy, man's desire!
A white rose to remind us we travel through time In the space of each moment our souls must refine With eternal heart fire, rise in divine estate Where the bridegroom awaits by those pearly white gates
May we soar like the sun fashions every new morn Free our soul from the shackles of every life's thorn! None shall spoil the known beauty of our heav'nly face None shall keep us from merging with heavenly grace
This so long as we choose to be Purity's ray And in striving outpicture His words day by day When breath comes to a close and our journey complete We spring forth from the mud in a white lotus feat!
We will be like this rose in the central bouquet Bride of Christ, former lives gathered up in array And the joy that awaits as we merge with our King Celestial song of the angels. glorious wedding bells ring!
Sweetest memories we leave on this side of the veil Woven into rose buds, on snow white bridal veil Like these petals majestic, nature's beauteous display Is a truth that completes all the steps that were made
Where no more to descend in a world filled with thorns Where we leave our sweet fragrance to help lead others home Where we shed our soft petals for the imprint was made That a soul can now merge with her God and not fade To become the completeness for which She was made
