A Garden Song

To Christ my Savior King

In Spring My Christ went out to plant

His seed within my heart

Then bud to leaf and bloom to fruit

Each played their Summer’s part

Till Autumn’s frost one morning spoke

Of Winter’s gathering wings

And I in joy the harvest gave

To Christ my Savior King

Places Where I’ve Been

I have not been to Israel

Or seen its Holy sites

Nor to the Sea of Galilee

Where Christ taught wrong from right

But His voice that calmed the storm

Has spoken in my mind

And those hands that healed the sick

Have gently taken mine

Then He called me to Himself

And He Said this is the Way

Sins forgiven

Hope renewed

He walks with me today!

I and Me and Mine and My

Were all that I could see

When life was just smooth sailing

The world was about me

But winds and pains and waves have tossed

My comforts overboard

Till driven by the storm I put

My focus on the Lord

For He who works mysteriously

His will and by His way

To Him who loves us fully

I give my life today
