Recently a friend gave me a CD and several songs blessed my spirit in a very special way. The day after receiving the CD I was listening to a song made popular by the Whisnants entitled "Even in the Valley". As I enjoyed the song I had to pull off the road as the Spirit of God brought tears to my eyes. I know that we grow in our "valley" experiences and (I think) I can praise God in the dark depths of the valley. This time though, I had such a wonderful sense of being in the presence of the Holy One. God ministered powerfully to this troubled soul. Enjoy the lyrics but more important sense the loving embrace of Jesus as you go through your valley whatever it might be.
Even in the Valley
High upon this mountain - the sun is shining bright
My heart is filled with gladness here above the cares of life
But I've just come through the valley of trouble, fear and pain
It was there I came to know my God enough to stand and say:
Chorus:
Even in the valley - God is good
Even in the valley - He is faithful and true
He carries his children through - like He said he would
Even in the valley - God is good
The road of life has lead you to a valley of defeat
You wonder if the Father has heard your desperate plea
But there is hope in the rugged place where tears of sorrow dwell
Can't you hear Him gently whispering "I am here and all is well".
Note: I'm not sure who wrote the lyrics to this incredible song. If anyone can help me with this, I'll acknowledge the composer and the copyrights. - David
That sounds like a really wonderful song. Thank you for sharing ... :)

You wonder if the father has heard your desperate plea
But there is hope in the rugged place where tears of sorrow dwell
Can't you hear Him gently whispering "I am hear and all is well"

Thank you for allowing this song to bless your life. Believe it or not, this song has brought me through a few VALLEY's. Isn't it funny how God prepared me for them through the writing of this song.
ReplyDeleteHe's there even when we think we've lost all hope. When the darkness closes there is always at least one spec of hope...NEVER lose that hope!
I'm blessed to know this song has ministered to you. Thank you for sharing it!
