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 Sponsor: Chris Matt Contest:Favorite songs and lyrics I could not find the bands names to go with the performing artist

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
