Roses For Roselyn Lyrics

The day I recorded this it rained real hard

But when I stepped up to the mic the sun came in bright through the window

It reminded me that even in our darkest days the Lord still shines His love

I got some roses for Roselyn mixed with a couple magnolias

Teardrops from my pen while I write this here for you

I swear home has gotten colder without your warm smile

Looking at your picture wishing you were here now

Don't know how to feel now while I'm still wiping tears

I'm just a motherless child for the rest of my years

It still gives me the chills when I see you in my dream

I know you just went home and you're hearing angels sing

It's a difficult thing to not see you at all

Wishing I could pick up the phone and give you a call

To say goodbye to your mom, nobody's ever ready

The day your soul would fly was the day that mine got heavy

I'm still feeling weary, God help me through the rain

Since you went away things ain't never been the same

All I can do is pray, with tears still rolling

Take a ride to your grave with roses for Roselyn

Lord knows it's hard to let go, When we lose such a beautiful soul

It's hard feeling lost in the cold, But I know that you're home with the Lord

Heavenly Father, why'd you have to take my momma

I close my eyes and visualize on days when I was younger

I know the Lord giveth and He taketh away

And I'll see you one day but until then I will pray

Then I heard the Lord say it was just her time to fly

Still hard to mourn when you're feeling left behind

The sun will still shine even though the night is dark

But I'm still feeling like I lost a part of my heart

I still don't know where to start, I never been here before

Even though I know there's no right or wrong way to mourn

I'm so sorry mom, you're gone too soon

Feeling like I'm still in shock while I'm sitting in my room

We'll see you real soon, but all in God's time

So until then Father let your light shine

Precious memories of mine I will keep holding

While I wipe away my tears with these roses for Roselyn

Lord knows it's hard to let go, When we lose such a beautiful soul

It's hard feeling lost in the cold, But I know that you're home with the Lord

Dear momma I'm a stay strong while the world's wild

Thinking about the day I told you I'm a rapper now

It's like you held the family down through the thick and thin

When you said I would slip and fall get right back up again

Never thought it be the end when I helped you off to bed

The last time I saw you keeps on playing in my head

But you're with the Lord instead, Jesus opened up His arms

At the mansion in the sky while you sing angelic songs

I still miss you mom, and I always will

And that's as certain as the church is the light upon the hill

As long as we still here, we going to stay serving Christ

Until we lay it down and then get caught up in the sky

It's still okay to cry and I know we're still hurting

When she saw Jesus I bet He said well done my faithful servant

Tomorrow's never certain as today is still unfolding

So we'll decorate your grave with these roses for Roselyn

Lord knows it's hard to let go, When we lose such a beautiful soul

It's hard feeling lost in the cold, But I know that you're home with the Lord

They say there's no scars in heaven, except on the hands that hold you

That means there's no wheelchairs, no tears and no pain

Miss you mom
