Lyrical Thursday

 There are times along the journey that we come across songs that speak to our spirits and seemed to be exactly what we needed at the time. In the Valley by Sovereign Grace has been one of those songs for me in the recent months. I hope you are as blessed as I have been by the lyrics and enjoy listening to the song via the youtube video below.

Based on The Valley of Vision prayer (Puritan Prayer) 

“The Valley of Vision”

Words and Music by Bob Kauflin

Verse 1
When You lead me to the valley of vision
I can see You in the heights
And though my humbling wouldn’t be my decision
It’s here Your glory shines so bright
So let me learn that the cross precedes the crown
To be low is to be high
That the valley’s where You make me more like Christ

Chorus
Let me find Your grace in the valley
Let me find Your life in my death
Let me find Your joy in my sorrow
Your wealth in my need
That You’re near with every breath
In the valley

Verse 2
In the daytime there are stars in the heavens
But they only shine at night
And the deeper that I go into darkness
The more I see their radiant light
So let me learn that my losses are my gain
To be broken is to heal
That the valley’s where Your power is revealed
