The Garden
Submitted by blainer@home.com

I visited your web today by accident and thought I would like to make a contribution. You see, three years ago, The Lord delivered me out of the gay lifestyle and most important of all brought me back to Him. While spending some quiet time in prayer, this vision came to me...

THERE WAS A FIELD
ALL EMPTY AND BARE
I'M SURE GOD MUST HAVE
PLANTED SOMETHING THERE

IT WAS ALL ROPED OFF
THERE WERE SIGNS I COULDN'T READ
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME GROWTH
DIDN'T KNOW I WAS A SEED

THE OTHER GARDENS
THEY GREW WITH A BURST
MINE HADN'T BEEN HOED
AND WAS DYING OF THIRST

THE WALLS THAT SURROUNDED
WERE STRONG AND WERE TALL
THE "SON" COULDN'T SHINE THROUGH THEM
TO NURTURE US ALL

THEN ONE DAY THIS MAN
SAW THIS PATCH OF DRY LAND
GAVE IT THE BEST SOIL
AND GROOMED IT BY HAND

HE TRIMMED OFF THE BAD PARTS
THAT WOULDN'T BARE FRUIT
NOT JUST ON THE SURFACE
BUT DOWN TO THE ROOTS

HE TORE DOWN THE STRONG WALLS
THAT STOOD IN THE WAY
WE NOW HAVE SOME "SONLIGHT"
TO WARM US EACH DAY

hE WALKED THROUGH THIS GARDEN
THAT "HE" HAD ENHANCED
THIS EMPTY DRY FIELD
HAD ANOTHER CHANCE

THE OAKS AND THE MAPLES
GREW STRONG AND GREW TALL
THE BEST OF ALL GARDENS
IN SPITE OF IT ALL

HE STILL NEVER LEAVES US
TO FEND ON OUR OWN
HE'S RIGHT THERE BESIDE US
HIS PRESENCE MADE KNOWN

WE ARE THAT GARDEN
JESUS IS THAT MAN
WITH HEARTS FULL OF THANKSGIVING
"IN HIM" STRONG WE STAND
