In My Father´s Garden

In my Father´s Garden

Composed and published by Jean-Louis Mondon 

As the golden dawn was announcing  a new day

My Heavenly Father, the Master Gardener

Woke me up from the morning mist

And invited me for a light walk

Let´s go down to my Garden, he said

Together we will stroll where the air exhales

His sweet subtle calming fragrance

Splashing with resplendent light

The foot paths in diaphanous tones

Together in sweet communion

We will walk rejoicing on this earth

Your blessed home, granted to you

My good and beautiful creation

There I will show you a most exquisite flower

One that grows and blooms

Turning towards the sun, matchless love

Of my beloved Son, Jesus your Lord

The soft soothing warmth of the rays

Emanating from His eyes filled with goodness

Beckons the poor in spirit and humble at heart,

Touching and healing even the most broken

The fragile beauty of its essence

Never fades into forgetfulness

But dying to self will be transformed

Into good and lasting fruit

For the flowing spring of the water of life

That feeds it never, ever runs dry.
