1. I am a rose of Sharon,
A lily of the valleys.
As the lily among the thorns so is my darling.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,
So is my beloved among the sons.

2. I sat down under His shadow with great delight.
And His fruit was sweet unto my taste.
He brought me to His banqueting house
And His banner over me was love.

3. Stay me with raisin cakes,
Comfort me with apples,
For I am sick, for am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head,
And His right hand doth embraces me.

4. The voice of my beloved!
Behold He cometh leaping 
Upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
My beloved is like a doe or a young hart
My beloved is like a young hart.

5. My Beloved spake and said
Unto me, "Rise up, my love,"
"Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away;
For the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth."

Rose of Sharon

1. Life is like a road—
I carried my load,
I traveled around. 
Searching and seeking,
But everything that I've found
Still left me empty deep inside.
Nothing I could find would satisfy...

2. Wherever I’d go,
No one would know
Why I’m alive.
Was there a purpose
And a reason for my life?
Where should I go?
What should I do?
No one could ever tell me the truth.

3. Are we all just here
To live on the earth
Just to exist?
To strive all the time,
To make up our minds
To be the best?
Oh—
Couldn’t there be something more?
Could the answer be Jesus the Lord?

4. Here was a man 
Who had a plan just for me—
He died on the cross,
To shed His blood to set me free.
And now He wants to get inside.
Was Jesus the One who satisfied?

5. I wanted to know—
Was He real?
I had to find out!
So I called on His name
Believed in my heart.
Confessed with my mouth.
"Lord Jesus, I need You to come into me.
I confess my sins;
Lord, I believe."

6. Now I have hope:
Christ in me—
The hope of glory!
There’s meaning to life 
In Jesus Christ.
This is my story.
Life is wonderful—
I’m not the same.
I’m so glad I called upon His name.

Life Is Like A Road

1. Oh hallelujah, I’m a part!
A member now of Christ.
Not acting individually,
But in the Body corporately.
When I release my Christ,
The Body's built in life.
Oh hallelujah! For each one part!

2. Oh hallelujah, I’m a priest,
To offer up my Christ!
When we all function as a priest
Then every meeting is a feast
No clergy-laity
In God’s economy
Oh praise God, we're functioning as living priests.

3. Oh hallelujah, I’m a son,
I have the Father's life!
The divine electricity
Is now the Triune God in me
When we all flip the switch
The meetings are so rich
Oh hallelujah! We're sons of God!

I'm A Part!

1. Jesus Christ is Lord of all!
On His name we all must call!
He the highest name doth own,
His name saves, and His alone!
God has given Him a name 
That's above all other names,
Call on Him from deep within—
And the Lord will come right in!

2. God's desire on earth today
Is that all mankind be saved—
And that also they may come
To full knowledge of the truth.
The full knowledge we must see,
Is the Christ, God's mystery
Take a drink of Jesus Christ!
He will fill you with His Life!

3. If you would believe in Him,
You would never be ashamed.
Jesus Christ is rich unto 
All who call upon His name—
Whosoever shall call on
The name of Lord shall be
Saved! Yes— Hallelujah, saved! 
From this present evil's age.

Jesus Christ Is Lord Of All!
