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.
