IT'S IN THE VALLEYS I GROW

 

      Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
      Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe
      It's then I have to remember
      That it's 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's 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 so very low.
      Just give me a gentle reminder
      That it's in the valleys I grow.

      Continue to strengthen me, Lord
      And use my life each day
      To show your love to others
      And help them find their way.

      Thank you for valleys, Lord
      For this one thing I know
      The Mountain tops are glorious
      But it's in the valleys I grow!
