Garden of My Heart

So tender is my love for you;
O Lord... it is you I yearn for all the day.

Into the depths of my heart;
O Lord... is where you have traveled.

I see the evidence within the walls of my heart,
"My Beloved has been here."

The fragrance of you lingers in the air,
the flowers you have noticed, burst with bloom.

A soft warm rain has watered this garden...
life nourishes all I see.

The beauty of you lingers on...
after your touch has stopped.

Bend down to me; O Lord...
and upon your cheek I will place a kiss.

For your sweet kindness...
For you have taken the garden of my heart;
and you have made it Your own.
