  • I come to the garden alone
    While the dew is still on the roses
    And the voice I hear falling on my ear
    The Son of God discloses

    And He walks with me
    And He talks with me
    And He tells me I am His own
    And the joy we share as we tarry there
    None other has ever known

    He speaks and the sound of His voice
    Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
    And the melody that He gave to me
    Within my heart is ringing

    And He walks with me
    And He talks with me
    And He tells me I am His own
    And the joy we share as we tarry there
    None other has ever known
    (I come to the garden alone) Writer/s: C. Austin Miles

  • George from Belleville, NjThis is one of the most powerful Gospel songs ever written and one of the most powerful performances ever sung by Elvis.I believe Elvis is such a powerful force in music and one of the reasons for that is because he gave glory to God by singing about Jesus and inspiring listeners.Gospel music is the highest form of music because it brings praise to our Creator and Elvis' recordings were very uplifting.
