Introduction
You ever have one of those moments where the world just quiets down, and it’s like you can hear your own heartbeat? That’s what In the Garden feels like to me—a song that’s less about noise and more about finding something real in the stillness. I picture it as this warm, tender thing, like sitting under a big oak tree with someone you love, the kind of moment where you don’t need to say much because the air says it all.
This isn’t some grand, flashy anthem—it’s softer, more intimate. I imagine it starting with this gentle hum, maybe a lone guitar or a piano that feels like fingertips brushing the keys, pulling you into a story. The lyrics? They’d be about connection—maybe a gardener tending to roses, hands deep in the dirt, thinking about someone they’ve lost or someone they’re still holding onto. There’s this ache in it, but it’s beautiful, you know? Like how a flower still blooms even after a hard rain.
What makes it special is how it sneaks up on you. It’s not in a hurry to prove anything—it just sits with you, like a friend who knows when to shut up and let the silence talk. I’d want it to feel timeless too, like something you could’ve heard hummed by a campfire a hundred years ago, or something your grandkid might stumble on and still get choked up over. Maybe there’s a line about the seasons turning, how the garden keeps growing even when we’re not looking—little details that stick in your chest.
Why does it matter? Because we all have our gardens, don’t we? Those quiet places we go to figure stuff out, to remember, to heal. This song’s like an invitation to sit there for a while, to feel the sun on your face and the dirt under your nails. It’s not just a tune—it’s a hand reaching out, saying, “Hey, I get it.” And honestly, who doesn’t need that sometimes?

Lyrics
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
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
