Kentucky Rose - Michael W. Smith[00:00:00]
Sun comes up Sunday morn[00:00:15]
On the little church where I been since I was born[00:00:23]
And there he stood a hearty smile[00:00:30]
You could hear his voice ringing out for a country mile[00:00:37]
And he could place your mind at ease[00:00:45]
With his tenderness and a heart[00:00:52]
That aimed to please[00:00:55]
A pauper's hands a farmer's clothes[00:00:59]
Just a preacher man we called Kentucky Rose[00:01:07]
He worked the soul like he worked the land[00:01:20]
He spoke in ways that anyone could understand[00:01:28]
Simple words of simple faith[00:01:35]
And when it came to love[00:01:43]
He would go out of his way[00:01:45]
A helping hand[00:01:50]
A soothing chat[00:01:54]
And he practiced what he preached imagine that[00:01:57]
And as far as kindness goes[00:02:04]
There was none compared to old Kentucky Rose[00:02:11]
Evening stroll 'cross Shyler's bridge[00:02:42]
That's when he saw the boy[00:02:50]
Trapped below that rocky ridge[00:02:52]
He knew the danger he would face[00:02:57]
But it's as if he saved the child[00:03:05]
Only to take his place[00:03:07]
For on that ridge of stone and ice[00:03:14]
Kentucky met his maker in a sacrifice[00:03:21]
Why he's gone[00:03:28]
God only knows[00:03:31]
Maybe for the company of his Kentucky Rose[00:03:35]
So peaceful in his Sunday best[00:03:42]
He was buried on a hill and laid to rest[00:03:49]
When people heard they came in droves[00:03:56]
To say their last good-byes to sweet Kentucky Rose[00:04:03]
Now on that hill[00:04:25]
One flower grows[00:04:28]
They say it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose[00:04:32]
They say it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose[00:04:39]
I believe it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose[00:04:46]
