While traveling down the road of life
A lovely garden beckoned to me
The beauty of nature all around
Bedecked with His purity





Located in a shadowy glen
Yet so easy to find from the road
A gentle stream flowed quietly
With crystal waters clear and cold





A feeling of peace surrounded me
Such joy, I had never felt
I knew that I had found a place
Where only the righteous dwelt





I realized this was a path
Where many before me had trod
For this was the road to Paradise
Carved into existence by God





Before I left that peaceful place
Jesus became a life-long Friend
He will be right there beside me
If I serve and follow Him





No matter how rough or heavy the load
There's a blessing of love without end
On a little path in a shady nook
Waiting for you just around the bend
