This is one that I didn't write, but I have full permission to record it, and make a track to it. This will be on my next CD Project. The track is entirely BIAB!!

When God Unfolds A Rose



There’s been times when I felt my prayer
Didn’t even reached the ceiling of the room
Where I knelt to pray
And a voice inside kept asking me
Did I think God was really listening
To any thing I had to say
I just kept on a praying
And holding on by faith
Knowing my God is always in control
And I waited like a rose bud in a garden
Cause only God can unfold a rose



When God unfolds a rose
He always gets it right
And when the petals are in place
Oh, it’s a beautiful sight
God knows when to hold on
And the perfect time for letting go
So let Him have his way
And watch God unfold the rose



There are trials and tribulations
we must all go through
And when it comes to heartache
We’ve all had our share
but when times are the hardest,
We need to hold God to the promise
He said He’d never give us more than we could bare
So I'll just keep right on a praying
And holding on by faith
Knowing that God’s working all thing out for my good
And I'll wait just like a rose bud in the garden
Cause only God can unfold a rose


When God unfolds the rose, he always gets it right,
when the petals are in place.
You'll see such a beautiful sight.
God know when to hold on,
and the perfect time to let go,
so let him have his way,
and watch God unfold the rose,

God knows when to hold on,
and the perfect time to let go,
so let him have his way,
and Watch God unfold your rose.

The light instrumentation works well with this song.

I enjoyed your heartfelt vocal.

I don't know who wrote this song, but I like the lyrics.

Sure glad to get you back Ronnie, and you picked a nice song to make your comeback. Nice writing on this - been there man. I really liked those cord changes too. There were a couple of spots where it sounded as though your voice was strained, but I don't know if a key change would make it easier, or maybe not modulating up near the end of the song. That happens to me a lot too. I sure liked that steel in the background through the song. Hope your leg is mending well.

Outstanding song

Great lyrics and a super backing band

Great blend

I agree with Brad that "there were a couple of spots where it sounded as though your voice was strained".

This has a lot of potential and cleaning up a couple of spots would make it a diamond

PS - loved the message


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Pretty progression!

And of course, your vocals are always sincere and tuneful.

Minor nit - at 2:36, sounds like the steel guitar isn't quite playing the same chords as the rest of the band.

Solid song with a classic sound. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Ronnie,

Nice use of Biab. It is sober in terms of instrumentation but pleasant. Well done
