Early, he rises, and goes out into the garden, tending it with love and care<\/h6>\n
He begins to prune and dig in the earth, where\u2026<\/h6>\n
He\u2019s planted holy seeds\u2026<\/h6>\n
Seeds of kindness and seeds of love, seeds of faith he’s\u00a0planted there<\/h6>\n
Tilling the ground he works, listening to a gentle dove\u2026<\/h6>\n
That’s singing in his garden\u2026<\/h6>\n
Bursting out in a heavenly fragrance, the flowers all in bloom\u2026<\/h6>\n
Showers of color, and butterflies flutter, among the gardener’s room\u2026<\/h6>\n
Thriving trees, no sickness or disease, is found in this gardener’s domain\u2026<\/h6>\n
He works full of love for his precious,\u00a0holy seeds\u2026bringing water and food the green, lush leaves, spring forth to shade the ground\u2026<\/h6>\n
Birds sing, as squirrels run about, happy for the acorns they\u2019ve found\u2026<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s no anxiety, no fear, no doubt, for the gardener takes care of these\u2026<\/h6>\n
Live in the garden, where the faithful one is found\u2026<\/h6>\n
Outside the garden you will only find, a place called Abandoned Town<\/em>.<\/h6>\n
Abandoned Town<\/em> is full of weeds, predators lurk, bringing evil deeds<\/h6>\n
There is only want and lack and terrible disease\u2026no gardener to tend you there\u2026<\/h6>\n
The place is full of rats and creeps, lurking in the dark you\u2019ll weep\u2026destruction on every street\u2026Food is scarce and water polluted\u2026Abandoned Town<\/em> is for those recruited, to spend their lives in Hell\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stay in the garden where the gardener lives, He\u2019ll provide you with blessing and there you will thrive\u2026live in the garden of life!<\/h6>\n
The gardener is Jesus Christ!<\/h6>\n
