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 Gods 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 always 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 share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for your valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it`s in the valleys I grow.
