~~It's In
The Valley Where 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!

REMEMBER...
The shortest distance between a problem
and a solution
is the distance between your knees
and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord,
can stand up to anything.
