Sunshine and Roses

I used to sing a sad song,filled with gray skies and rain
I used to sing of no future, sad days with only pain
Now as I look back upon them, seems tome that I find
There were days in the valley, now I've left them allbehind

Now it's sunshine and roses, only a thorn now and then
Cool streams, warm breezes, since Jesus took my hand
Green meadows and laughter, hope within a crumbling time
It's sunshine and roses, only a thorn now and then

I never miss the old ways, yet think back from time to time
To those days of no purpose, when my life had little rhyme
Though the waters drunk be bitter, they much sweeter make the taste, of one drop of God's blessing, blessing
Given by his grace

Now it's sunshine and roses, only a thorn now and then
Cool streams, warm breezes, since Jesus took my hand
Green meadows and laughter, hope within a crumbling time
It's sunshine and roses, only a thorn now and then

God bless, hope this helps!
