The Valley

Deep in the valley, exceedingly low,
The way is hard; the progress is slow,

Deep in the valley, exceedingly rough,
You’ll find that your own strength is not enough,

Deep in the valley, exceedingly faint,
Shadows can blind the eyes of a saint,

But,

Up in the heavens, exceedingly high,
Nothing is hidden from God’s sovereign eye,

Up in the heavens, exceedingly stable,
Nothing has changed with Him, who is able,

Up in the heavens, exceedingly true,
Nothing has stopped Christ praying for you,

So,

On through the valley, exceedingly long,
Do not forget to Whom you belong,

On through the valley, exceedingly frail,
Do not fear, His Word will not fail,

On through the valley, exceedingly clear,
The valley will vanish and heaven appear.

  1. That is a deep poem and very encouraging. It reminds me that there is a bigger story running above the small-frame story of my life.
