145:18 The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. 145:19 He fulfils the desire of all who fear him, he also hears their cry, and saves them. Psalms 145:18-19In 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
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
I'd stay in the garden with Him
'Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
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
- Words and Music by Charles Austin Miles, 1913
Miles gave the background to this beautiful hymn in his own words:
Quote:
"I read the story of the greatest morn in history. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet very dark, unto the sepulcher. Instantly, completely, there unfolded in my mind the scenes of the garden, where out of the mists comes a form, halting, hesitating, tearful, seeking, turning from side to side in bewildering amazement.
"Falteringly, bearing grief in every accent, with tear-dimmed eyes, she whispers, 'If Thou has borne Him hence.'
"He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing. He said to her "Mary!"
"Just one word and forgotten are the heartaches, the long dreary hours, all the past blotted out in His presence."

In 1991 when The Lord found me broken in a little chapel at The America's Keswick Conference and Retreat Center; 'the joy of my salvation was established as the burden of my heart rolled away'.... and again today I celebrated the joy of my salvation as The Love of JESUS filled Me once again as I revisited the day I was Washed in The Blood of The Lamb.
While volumes could be filled with The Joy of HIS Love; The Thanksgiving celebrated daily doesn't come close to meeting The Praise and Worship that I might exhibit if I were to able to grasp the depth of HIS LOVE, and each day a new with undeserved Mercy I have been given and shown as HE exhibited the Free Gift of salvation HE Unselfishly and undeservately.
To sum up all I really can say repeatedly and in prayer:
"Thank You JESUS"
I encourage you this day to take time to share your relationship with Jesus with another
6:24 The LORD bless you and keep you: 6:25 The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you: 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
