Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet

Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet - Ricky Skaggs/Keith Whitley

Death is an angel sent down from above

Sent for the buds and the flowers we love

Truly this so for in heaven's own way

Each bud is a flower in the Master's bouquet

Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet

Beautiful flowers that will never decay

Gathered by angels and carried away

Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet

Loved ones are passing each day and

Each hour passing away as the life of a flower

But every bud and each blossom some day

Will bloom as the flowers in the Master's bouquet

Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet

Beautiful flowers that will never decay

Gathered by angels and carried away

Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet

Let us be faithful till life's work is done blooming

With love till the reaper shall come

Then we'll be togather together for age

Transplanted to bloom in the Master's bouquet

Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet

Beautiful flowers that will never decay

Gathered by angels and carried away

Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet
