In the stillness of the garden,
strolling among the blooms,
such sweet inner peace is found,
as I smell the flowers' perfume.

God walks with me every step,
as He is in my heart...
I often wonder what Eden looked like,
that garden from the start.

Thank you, Lord, for blessing us
with beauty in each plant...
for the beauty of the flowers
as they softly brush my hands.

In the stillness of the garden
finding quiet solitude...
a prayer of thanks from my heart
ascends dear Lord to you.

Let me walk with humble heart
upon your painted land...
when my time has run its course,
dear Lord, please take my hand.

Take me to that garden,
You've made especially for me,
for there I know will be
such sweet serenity.
