about

This is just one of those fun-loving songs about seeing the roses instead of the thorns in life. Jesus said, "In this life you will have troubles, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome this life". It's not coincidence that my niece Grace would sing lead on this. She has overcome so many monstrous difficulties in the last few years and has arrived on the other side of them unscathed in spirit and spunk of life. I think there is no better voice for this song!!!

lyrics

Every day that we live
Is a gift
If we live it right
There are endless possibilities
I can see
Something good
Is growing deep inside me
I can see
Something good
Is just about to bust the seams

Sow the seeds of change
Grace will fall like rain
Everything is coming up roses

Love is shining down
Hope breaks through the ground
Everything is coming up roses

There are thorns all around
But I've found
At the top of them
There's a flower waiting there for me
I can see
Something good
In most everything around me
I can see
Something good
Is just about to come to be

Sow the seeds of change
Grace will fall like rain
Everything is coming up roses

Love is shining down
Hope breaks through the ground
Everything is coming up roses
