A song written by a fellow churchmate

A song that touched me once and brought me to my 'senses'
A song that has touched me again today

TO THE GARDEN ALONE

(A Ballad to the Lord)

Just as I am, without one plea

But that Thy blood was shed for me

Thou biddest me to come to Thee

O Lamb of God, I come I come

Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot

To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot

O Lamb of God, I come I come

Chorus

To the garden alone

While the dew’s on the rose

His voice I hear, it’s falling on my ear

He walks with me, He talks with me

He tells me I’m His own

It’s a joy I’ve never known

Just as I am, though tossed about

With many conflict, many a doubt

Fightings and fears, within and without

O Lamb of God, I come I come

Just as I am, poor wretched blind

Sight riches, healing of my mind

Yes all I need in Thee to find

O Lamb of God, I come I come

Just as I am thou will receive

Wilt welcome pardon cleanse relieve

Because Thy promise I believe

O Lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am Thy love unknown

Hath broken ev’ry barrier down

Now to be Thine yea Thine alone

O Lamb of God I come I come

Chorus

To the garden alone

While the dew’s on the rose

His voice I hear, it’s falling on my ear

He walks with me, He talks with me

He tells me I’m His own

It’s a joy I’ve never known
