In the Countenance Of You

The roses in the garden should blush to beg your pardon! For there is none so exquisite No velvet petal so delicate, None could be more splendid! Not one could be defended In the countenance of you. In the countenance of you My heart is in full bloom The sun ceases it's playful dance merely fanciful in your radiance. The song birds hush to hear your voice softly resounding through the noise. Even the wind draws it's breath sucking in your loveliness. I behold the beauty of your countenance. In the beauty of your countenance Love releases it's excellence. selah!
