To the Garden of Gethsemane
I came that day alone
In those dark hours weeping tears of agony
I prayed “Please, Father
Take this cup from me.”

The sweet smelling fragrance of the roses
Reminded me of My Father’s Love
Their crimson red
Symbolic of the great drops of blood
I would shed
For you

The thorns upon the roses
Symbolic of the
Crown of Thorns
That would be placed
Upon my head

I chose to die on the Cross of Calvary
So that you might live eternally
And that you might have life MORE
Abundantly
Victoriously

The agony and love overflowing
From my broken heart
Broke a cord upon the Cross
And rent the veil
For a lost world’s redemption
As I cried out for atonement
“Father unto Thy Hands I commend My Spirit,
Thy will be done.”

My love for them, Father
I cried
Is far greater
Than my sacrifice
I hung my head and again cried
“It is finished”
For you I willingly died


Then on the third day
Sometime in the night
Suddenly an angel came
In burning fire and white

A great earthquake
In the breaking light
He rolled the stone away
From the sepulcher
Filling the morning air
With the sweet scent of spices and myrrh

And then came the dawning
Of that glorious new day
My Father God
Creator of Man
Spoke to the death of sin
And spoke life anew to me
Oh Resurrection Power
How can it be
God’s prophecy was fulfilled
For all time and eternity

Woman, why weepest thou?
I AM ALIVE
I invite you now to the Garden of Life
To live with me
Eternally

Look into the noontide of my eyes
Filled with love, mercy and compassion
For you
I alone love the unseen in you

Step into the Garden with me
Woman, why weepest thou?
Trust and believe in me
I will fulfill your divine destiny

Believe in My Word and Truth
The same Resurrection Power
That My Father sent
To bring me forth from death
Is the same power
I give to you

I also give to you
The Glory My Father
Has given to me
The Overshadowing of Our Love
Now and throughout all eternity

Remember to pray as I taught you to pray
God’s Kingdom come
His will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Because of My sacrifice
Within you lies
Kingdom Power and Authority
And the Glory of My Father, God
Who sent Me down to Earth
From His Glorious Supernatural Realm
To walk and live with you incarnate as Man

Remember My promise to you
I will return back to My Father in Heaven
I go to prepare a place for you
And if I go
I will come again
I ascend unto my Father
And your Father
And to My God
And your God

But do not fear because
When I go back to be with My Father
He promised to send His Holy Spirit
To empower you
To do all that I do
In greater ways than ever before
And His Holy Spirit will be
Your Comforter and Guide
And reveal God’s Truth and Light to you

Come to the Garden of Light and Life
You will never be alone
Be led by My Holy Spirit
Come away with me
I promise never to leave
Nor forsake you
I will always be with you
Wherever you go

Weep no more
Be not fearful, oppressed, depressed or dismayed
No longer weep nor grieve
I AM your RISEN LORD!
I AM THE RESURRECTION
AND THE LIFE
HE THAT COMETH UNTO ME
THOUGH HE BE DEAD
YET SHALL HE LIVE
AND IT IS NOT YOU THAT LIVE
BUT I WHO LIVE IN YOU!
You may live and move and have your very being
IN ME!

Mingled with your tears that flow are mine
REJOICE
I give you love, joy, hope and peace
Kingdom power and authority
Weep no more, instead
Cry out, “My Savior and My Lord!”
Come to the Garden with Me
And I will in no wise cast you out
I want to walk and talk with you
Forever

Remember Me in all you do
In all your ways acknowledge Me
Trust me
Step into My Garden
Come away with me
And I will direct your pathway of life

Reach forth your finger
And behold the nail print in My hand
And reach forth your hand
And thrust it into My side
Reach out and touchYour Master’s Hand
I am waiting
And be not faithless
But believing

And in your believing
Receive in the Name of My Father
Resurrection Power
Redemption through the Blood of the Lamb
Restoration in all things
Righteousness in Me
This is the will and promise of My Father who sent Me
Because of the debt and sacrifice I paid on Calvary
My priceless gift of love to you
