Have you been in the valley,
Valley so low?
Have you hung your head over,
Heard the wind blow?
Well, listen, my friend,
The reason is clear:
You are out of the sunshine,
And shadows live here.
Does the way seem so gloomy
Within this dark glen?
Is the pathway obscured;
Can’t see where you’ve been?
Can’t tell where you’re going;
Don’t know what’s around?
Just feel like you’re falling
Still deeper on down?
No need to stay down here
And suffer alone.
Look up to the Father;
Your sadness He’s known.
His eye’s been upon you;
He’s watched as you grieve.
He longs to draw near you,
Your sorrow relieve.
Just call out to Him
For the comfort He’ll give,
And walk close beside Him
As long as you live,
And then in the valley
Or on mountain steep,
He’ll give you His joy,
And your soul will He keep.
