It's in the Valley 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 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.(Poem written by Jane Eggleston)
