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 ofGod discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound ofHis voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I'd stay in the garden with Him Tiwugh the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice ofwoe His voice to me is calling.
Refrain
God Looked around his garden and found an empty space
Then he looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
Gods Garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the many friends and family both near and far who have offered their prayers, condolences, comforting words and many acts of kindness.
