In the valley 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 mountaintop,
and never experienced pain.
I would never appreciate God's love,
and would be living now in vain.
I have so much to learn,
and my growth is very slow.
Sometimes I need the mountaintops,
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 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 your love with others,
and help them find their way.
Thank you for the valleys, Lord,
for this one thing I know.
The mountaintops are glorious,
But it's in the valleys I grow.

Tears
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
