Where the Roses Never Fade Recorded by Norma Jean Written by Elsie Osborn, Jack Osborn, Jim Miller C I am going to a city G7 C Where the streets are golden laid Where the tree of life is blooming G7 C And the roses never fade F C Here they bloom but for a season G7 C Soon their beauty is decayed I am going to a city G7 C Where the roses never fade In this world we have our troubles G7 C Satan snares we must evade We will free from all temptation G7 C Where the roses never fade Loved one's gone to be with Jesus G7 C In their robes of white array They are waiting for my coming G7 C Where the roses never fade F C Here they bloom but for a season G7 C Soon their beauty is decayed I am going to a city G7 C Where the roses never fade
