Sometimes life seems hard to bear
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe,
Its 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 valley 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 my 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 our love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for the valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know,
The mountain tops are glorious
But it’s in the valleys I grow.

A Bend in the Road.
Sometimes we come to life's crossroads
And view what we think is the end,
But God has a much wider vision
And He knows it's only a bend.
The road will go on and get smoother,
And after we've stopped for a rest,
The path that lies hidden beyond us
Is often the part that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger.
Let go and let God share your load,
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow.
You've just come to a bend in the road.
