Growing up a part of the D.C. inner-city culture, Lynda experienced a pain and anguish that can rarely be imagined by the majority of Christian-America Since giving her life to the Lord Jesus Christ, He has used the scars of her youth to bring a distinct depth and richness to her ministry. Her Life is the fulfillment of the promise of Isaiah; "...Bestow on them the crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."
- Isaiah 61:3, NIV

Anyone who knows Lynda now will some time or another find themselves marveling at her bottomless supply of enthusiasm. Whether she is ministering to a large congregation, or one-on-one to a runaway teen, her joyful dedication to the Lord is always a source of encouragement and an infectious catalyst of growth. In November of 1989, Lynda married Mike Randle of Kansas City, Missouri. Mike's background growing up on the streets of Kansas City's inner-city and his dramatic conversion experience have given him a powerful voice to youth who find themselves in the same desperation that he knew on the street. The Randles enjoy the various occasions where they are able to minister together, Mike speaking and Lynda singing. Lynda and Mike have been blessed with two precious daughters, Patience and Joy. One of the remarkable things about Lynda's ministry is her ability to quickly build rapport with her audience and "draw them out" regardless of the type of group she is addressing. In fact, her message and music have proven to be truly cross-cultural.

In the Garden
Lynda Randle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 speaks 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
None other has ever known...

I come to the garden alone
I visit the peaceful garden by myself

While the dew is still on the roses
During the early morning when the dew is still on the flowers

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
I hear a sweet voice softly speaking to me

The Son of God discloses
I hear the voice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

And He walks with me
Jesus walks alongside me

And He talks with me
Jesus speaks to me and listens to my words

And He tells me I am His own
Jesus assures me that I belong to Him

And the joy we share as we tarry there
The happiness we experience as we spend time together

None other has ever known
No one else has ever experienced such joy and intimacy with Jesus before

He speaks and the sound of His voice
When Jesus speaks, his voice is so beautiful that even the birds stop singing to listen

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
Jesus' voice is so soothing that it calms the birds and makes them stop singing

And the melody that He speaks to me
The beautiful words that Jesus speaks to me are like a sweet song

Within my heart is ringing
The beautiful melody that Jesus speaks echoes in my heart

None other has ever known
No one else has ever experienced such joy and intimacy with Jesus before
