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 crooss
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 valleys, Lord
for this one thing i know
the mountain tops are glorious
but it’s in the valleys i grow
