Bitterness of truth
While roses are red,
and violets are blue,
evil seems sweeter
than the bitterness of truth,
While the moon does shine,
and the sun rays are bright,
the children of man play
in the darkness, without light,
While the wind does blow
and the sea make waves
man has rejected you
yet, you love us as babes
Surely, you are the path, and the life
but, forgive us, Father, for many crave the flesh
more than they crave your Christ.
and violets are blue,
evil seems sweeter
than the bitterness of truth,
While the moon does shine,
and the sun rays are bright,
the children of man play
in the darkness, without light,
While the wind does blow
and the sea make waves
man has rejected you
yet, you love us as babes
Surely, you are the path, and the life
but, forgive us, Father, for many crave the flesh
more than they crave your Christ.
