In The Garden

Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

I’m sharing an excerpt from our pastor’s Wednesday night sermon.

“I long for the day when we are so hungry for the presence of God that we crave His Word and can’t get enough of it, when we live in continual prayer and communion with God, and when our faces are shining with the shekanah glory of God!”
`
“Nothing is stopping all of that from being a reality except us.”

“Celebrate His goodness with a new song each day.”
———————————————

“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.

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 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.”
C. Austin Miles 1913
