Verse 1
Ever wonder what was on
Yhe mind of the Maker
When He turned all of our sorrow
Into fields of grace
Right here in the middle
Of earth and Heaven
Caught between the romance and the pain
Can't you see that

Chorus
He must've known about
The heartbreak long before us
He must've known about
The mistakes still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine
And then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain
The beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that's why God made roses

Turnaround
Maybe that's why God made roses

Verse 2
God is in the whisper
If you listen closely
Winter means that spring
Is just a breath away
So don't go any faster
Than this very moment
Sing a hallelujah
In the pouring rain
Can't you see that

Chorus
He must've known about
The heartbreak long before us
He must've known about
The mistakes still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine
And then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain
The beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that's why God made roses

Turnaround
Maybe that's why God made roses

Bridge
And just like petals falling to the ground
We fall in to the One
Who's resurrection's here and now
All things made new

Chorus
He must've known about
The heartbreak long before us
He must've known about
The mistakes still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine
And then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain
The beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that's why God made roses

Outro
Maybe that's why God made roses
