thursday through my lens :: 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.

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 of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing. 

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.

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.
(Charles Austin Miles 1912)

  2. Ooops! (Still new at this whole blog thing!) Anyway...Wow! I love your pictures! I have an inner photographer that tries to get out, but sadly I often tell her to shhh. Thanks for inspiring me to at least try.

    P.S I also like the song that you have to go with your pictures. Such a good one!
