I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses
I enter into the garden by myself, as the morning dew is still on the flowers
And the voice I hear falling on my ear the son of God discloses
I hear a voice that reveals to me the words of Jesus
And he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own
Jesus accompanies me, speaks to me and assures me that I belong to him
And the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known
The happiness we experience as we linger there is incomparable to any other
He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
His voice is so delightful that it silences even the birds' singing
And the melody that he gave to me within my heart is ringing
The tune that he placed in my heart is still resounding within me
And he walks with me
Jesus is present with me

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…
