The Garden
The day i walked in your garden
To remonstrate with you
It was forbidden that i look on your face
But you were there i knew
An Angel stood to bar my way
Please let me pass i said in pain
I've come to speak for the poor and the weak
Not for my own personal gain
I heard the voice from the garden
The leaves all trembled and shook
And then the feeling of peace came
As the presence read from the book
Until all is full filled that is written
I can't stop the suffering and pain
But i bear the suffering with you
Hold fast till i come back again
For i am the way and i am the life
The Word from the start to the end
My Father is Almighty GOD
The Thought - on whom all life transcends
The Power and glory belong to the Father
The architect of all creation and love
The builder his son is our Lord Jesus Christ
The spirit is the power from above
I stood at one end of the garden
And a giant black cross did appear
Around its edge was a shining light
Whose brightness made the cross disappear
All that was left was the brightness
And away went my worry and fear
The pain was quickly diminished
The Power of God was here

Jacob's Ladder
On a rung of Jacob's ladder just a few rungs from the top
Turning for a lingering look, what i saw just made me stop
A brother who was so weary his children thirsting full of need
A sister that was hungry with so many mouths to feed
A multitude of homeless in a world where there's no lack
People bearing burdens, enough to break a heart or back
But a single prayer was uttered and soon help was on its way
It's name was peace its power love, miracles the order of the day
On a rung of Jacob's ladder now there is no time for sleep
For the Comforter brought the angels to find and feed the sheep
On the rungs of Jacob's ladder at the bidding of the Lord
Was placed a crown, a robe of red, the holy two edged sword

The Other Side Of Nowhere
From the other side of nowhere
I came upon by sheer chance
A marble bridge and golden river
Where silver salmon leapt and danced
The sunlight glistened on the water
As a fire in burnished copper gleams
And a fountain of rainbow ripples
Flowed as from a thousand streams
The marble bridges iridescence
Shining silver pink and green
Built to separate all eternity
From times illusionary scene
I saw blue marble mountains,
Rocks of rubies, pearl and gold
Wooded glades and crystal fountains
Opalescent skies with grace unfold
The gardens seemed to stretch forever
With flowers no mortal could conceive
And the leaves on the trees so beautiful
Had to be seen and heard to be believed
From the other side of nowhere
Where love and peace lasts forever
Upon the Path on the golden road
Over the bridge on the golden river

The Forever Day
Pass by the pure crystal fountain
Through the Halls and Pillars of Time
Along the beautiful banks of the river
Where a million stars twinkle and shine
Hear the sounds of angels singing
Near where harp and dulcimer plays
Until the sound of a single trumpet
Announces eternity's ending of days
High on a hill on the banks of the river
Stands two thrones neath a rainbow of green
Skies gleam the shades of mother of pearl
Its breath taking beauty feels more like a dream
Peace and joy in the air overflowing
Multitudes gather and then kneel to say
Glory and thanks to the Heavenly Father
For gifting this promised Forever day
