" I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter; to count, to stand for something, to have made a difference that you lived at all." Leo Rosen

The Elvis version has a couple of extra phrases in it, about birds and melodies.
Hi, I thought that I would come to see your blog and what a pleasure it was. My husband just completed a Grotto at our Church and he drove by it this afternoon and the building and grounds committee had just completed planting flowers there. He came home and got me to show me the surprise. I was overcome with emotion, seeing this wonderful surprise. Then I came to my computer and read your comment. I came here and clicked on Allan Jackson singing "In The Garden" (my favorite hymn) and couldn't believe the feeling of emotion all over again. Thankyou...you have a beautiful blog. I'll be back to visit often.

Hi Robur, yes, I saw that one too. I was trying to chose between Mahalia Jackson, Elvis, Jim Reeves, and Alan Jackson. I think I will have to listen to Elvis' entire one, as the black studded outfit threw me with him for this special hymn.
ReplyDeleteHi Balisha , I am so happy you read my blog and enjoyed the hymn ! Please come back anytime, take care ! Gina
