In the Garden

Images of the Community Garden at Lynden Methodist Church.

I just know that in His heart, our Father is a gardener. He reminds us to consider lilies, to sow seed on good ground, and he tells us that we are branches and Jesus is our vine. When the earth was only days old, He planted a garden for Adam and Eve. He walked with them there, in the cool of the day.

I can't imagine life without a garden.

IN THE GARDEN

I come to the garden alone,

while the dew is still on the roses--

and the voice I hear

falling on my ear

the Son of God

discloses...

I'd stay in the garden with Him

though the night around me be falling,

but he bids me go

through the voice of woe

His voice to me

is calling...

(chorus)

And He walks with me and He talk with me;

and He tells me I am His own

and the joy we share

as we tarry there

none other has ever known.

by C. Austin Miles...1912
