Las Rosas de Maria

In one cold winter, when snow was falling There came a lady, whose voice was calling She chose a poor one to spread her message A gift of flowers, blossoms of hope She gave him roses, petals from heaven Sprouted from her love, grown in her heart She brings us roses, sign of protection Clothed in her promise of lasting prayer O blessed Virgin, make us a garden Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi We share God's roses as we hold each hand So sweet the fragrance, so tender to touch We are God's roses, bouquet of Mary Given to Jesus, held by God's heart O blessed Virgin, make us a garden Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi In night of winter, blossoms are sleeping The poor are crying, for justice weeping We must bring roses to ease their burden Santa Maria: we answer your prayer O blessed Virgin, make us a garden Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi O blessed Virgin, make us a garden Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi
