The Garden Trilogy

Part Three- My LORD; the Gardens

The gardens that my Lord walked through…

the first

in fellowship. There HE shared all He had created

the second

He walked in sorrow, where to our sins He related;

and where He shared with the Father all that he hated.

Garden of Paradise- my spirit now ponders:

to me, it’s not Eden, where knowledge wanders;

the Paradise I am able to see,

is where Christ reached out…at Gethsemane.

Where blooms Love? Where love freely grows.

A garden of God, from His veins arose.

A garden watered by great tears that He shed,

planted by the Life-Blood that He freely bled.

Paradise for me?

Gethsemane.

Now I walk through my garden alone.

Longing so deeply for a heavenly home…

where a garden is planted with Love in mind,

and a tree bears fruit of a different kind,

for healing of hearts

eternity starts…

In the garden of Heaven:

I long to be

walking with YOU in Garden three.
