It is in the Valleys I Grow
Sometime life seem hard to bear,
Full of sorrow trouble and woe,
It is then i have to remember,
That it is in the valleys I grow
If I always stayed on the mountain top,
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love,
And would be living in vain
I have so much to learn,
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it is in the valleys I grow
I do not always understand,
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing,
My Lord will see me through
My little valleys are nothing,
When I picture Christ on the cross,
He went through the valley of death,
His victory was Satan's loss
Forgive me Lord for complaining,
When I'm feeling very low,
Just give me a gentle reminder,
That it is in the valleys I grow
Continue to strengthen me Lord,
And use my life each day,
To share your love with others,
And help them find their way
Thank you for the valleys Lord,
For this one thing I know,
The mountain top are glorious,
But it is in the valleys I grow!
