Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe,
It's then I have to remember
..that it's in the valleys I grow.
...and never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow.
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through
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
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow.
