In the Valley

In the Valley

 

Dark and lonely,

Long and winding.

It seems impossible to look ahead,

As fear and anguish are blinding.

 

As an inner fire torments,

Roaming in a fit of darkness…

The soul all but depleted.

The valley long and tarnished.

 

When you’ve lost your faith

And have given up the fight,

Know that there’s something big at work,

And will soon see the light.

 

No matter how dark your darkest night,

There will come the brightest day…

Lending a hand to take hold,

And joy will take the place of pain.

 

Think not for a second

That you’re alone in your pain.

For God is in the valley with you,

Every step of the way.

 

Soon, the Lord will meet you on the hilltop

And fill you with His peace.

Until then, let Him hold your hand

In the valley.

Good afternoon from Michigan dear Melinda. I loved your work today.
"Soon, the Lord will meet you on the hilltop
And fill you with His peace.
Until then, let Him hold your hand
In the valley"
