The Garden of Paradise
"Lo, I AM with you always,
Even to the end of the Earth."
I have been with you in the Garden
Long before your birth.
Come to me now in the Garden--
In Paradise we'll walk.
We'll rest in Peace and Oneness;
Of joyous things we'll talk.
Nothing disturbs the Peace here;
All of your fears are at rest.
Love and Light fill the Garden,
This place where you are blessed.
Gratitude is the Gateway;
There's nothing but love you can bring.
Come to me in the Garden;
It's where the angel's sing.
Leave all your burdens outside, Dear.
You don't need to carry them here.
Come sit for a moment in Silence,
And know I AM very near.
The Garden is filled with laughter,
Joyous and wonderfully sweet.
Forgiveness erases all darkness
And makes brothers of all you meet.
We are all one in the Garden
Connected in Love to our Source.
Illusion disspelled in a moment
When God's Holy Love is in force.
Come quickly--you know how to get here.
Come often--enjoy the view.
Don't search faraway for the Garden,
My Dear One, it's here within you.
