Check out this stunning rendition of ‘In The Garden’ performed by singer Karla Davis. With just her voice and her guitar, Karla does a wonderful job conveying the meaning of this beautiful hymn. The lyrics reflect on a personal, intimate relationship with God, often described as a peaceful and contemplative walk with Jesus in a garden setting.
“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”
What an incredible rendition of this beloved hymn. Karla’s guitar picking and singing are so beautiful, and many people online share how they are fans of her music.
“This song brings back so many childhood memories. Awesome job! Thank you!” comments one person online.
“I've always liked this song, and her version touches me inside like no other. Effortless, natural, calmly joyful,” writes another person.
Karla is a singer/songwriter from Monroe, North Carolina, and has made a home in Nashville. She was also a top 16 contestant on NBC's "The Voice" Season 2.
When it comes to the hymn ‘In The Garden,’ this is one song that is enormously popular. It is almost impossible to find it omitted from any standard hymnal, and more than a million recordings and printed copies of it have been sold.
The man who wrote this beloved hymn was C. Austin Miles. He had attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of Pennsylvania to become a pharmacist, but he abandoned that career in 1892 when he wrote his first Gospel song.
He said of himself, "It is as a writer of gospel songs I am proud to be known, for in that way I may be of the most use to my master, whom I serve willingly although not as efficiently as is my desire."
We hope you enjoyed listening to this lovely rendition of ‘In The Garden’ today!
