Gardens beneath which rivers flow

Gregg Fikes 1966 (Texas)

Lyric
Beliefs' a seed and fruit is faith.
Trees and flowers expatiate.
Streams through which nourishments obtained,
Prepares the paradise we will attain.

Words fall short, languages try,
Scriptures represent and symbolize.
Pearly gates and golden streets,
a wonderful place we shall meet.
