A Special Bouquet 
The angel was arranging The Lords Upper Room 
In the window of heaven where pretty flowers bloom. 
The angel said, Lord, better take heed. 
In this vacant spot, another flower we need. 
The Lord looked over and said right away. 
Go down to earth and get a flower from my bouquet. 
Then the Lord turned around, he said, I have all power. 
Ill send my strength to those dear broken flowers. 
My spirit shall call then, as they honor me. 
Then come glad morning, blossoms theyll see. 
And as time goes on, their sorrows will grow dimmer. 
Deep wounds will heal and their flower theyll remember. 
They know the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. 
And the Lord needed this flower for his special bouquet.
