As I Sit Surrounded Settle

"I come to the garden alone"
In the quiet still of morning
On dawn my empty heart does hone
As the Doves sing their love mourning

"Each time I touch a rose petal"
That the dew refreshed over night
As I sit surrounded settle
Rose scent wafing in early light

"Just a little talk with Jesus"
Amazing grace suddenly astounds
His presence fills scents of narcissus
Here in the earthly earth no bounds

"Then I bowed on my knees and cried Holy"
For in His presence my heart glowed
Promising love to Him wholly
He my burdens took lifted heavy load

Holy, Holy


"In The Garden"_ Elvis Presley
"The Flowers, The Sunset, The Trees_Jim Reeves
"Just A Little Talk With Jesus"_George Jones
"Then I  Bowed On My Knees And Cried Holy, Holy"_Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

You picked some great song titles. Wow, SAra. Elives was so fond of gospel. It's nice how you drew great inspiration from that first song of his!

This is so inspiring, and beautifully written, Sara. I love the songs you chose for your entry. Most of these artists did not have a named band associated with them. Your entry is spiritually uplifting and I wish you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
