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

Words: Charles Austin Miles (1912)

For Mother's Day, my mom, sister and I went to the movies to see, The Lucky One.   There are several scenes where Zac Efron's character is playing this song on the piano.  It was so beautiful.


The melody has replayed in my head a hundred times since that day.  If you grew up in church, you have heard and probably sang this song.  It is such a soft, quiet song and the lyrics are so peaceful.


I thought I would share...
