THE VALLEY'S ROAD
I've been in a valley
The deepest I've known
The purpose I walked it
Has yet to be shown.
It robbed all my faith
And swallowed me up
Great fear and deep anger
It caused to erupt.
Such evil within me
I'd not known was there
I yelled at my Savior
And said He's not fair.
But now as I stand here
Upon holy ground
Of guilt and God's judgement
I don't hear a sound.
The purpose of Jesus
He paid on the cross
Has cancelled my failure
My sin and my loss.
Bowing before him
My tears on his feet
He reaches to lift me
Again our eyes meet.
And what is the picture
That my eyes behold?
A love that is boundless
And purer than gold.
The lesson I've learned
Is clear now to me
That valleys are nothing
But straight roads to Thee.

SONG OF THE VALLEY
A song of the valley
An anthem of praise
Born first out of darkness
But sung on bright days.
For deep in the valley
Are treasures to glean
We find in the shadows
What faith really means.
The mountains we yearn for
Are out of our reach
For here He has called us
To train and to teach.
The valley is deeper
And darker and cold
Than I had imagined
Or ever been told.
But someday I'II exit
The valley's dark door
And then I will know
What I knew not before.
Then praise that is sweeter
To him will belong
For none can compare
With the valley's love song !

"IN HIM"
All my trust in Him to save me
All my faith on Him alone
No one else to help or heal me
All my hope before His throne.
May my life be but a mirror
Which reflects not self or me
May my life reflect His presence
May His heart be what they see
As I seek to bring Him pleasure
Striving with my life and limb
May my work be not the measure
But my faith in only Him.
