A song that means the world to me

Through the trials of this last week the Lord has given me a very dear friend. She has listened to me pour out my heart and shared some of the best advice another preacher's wife could ever share - advice that came straight from her heart and brought glory and honor to the Lord.

One of the things she sent me this week was a song. I wish I was smarter at blogging, then I could figure out how to put it here for all of you to hear, but I don't have a clue how to do that. (If anyone wants to tell me how I will gladly share the song with you all.)

This song has become my all time favorite - I will be looking for the music for it this weekend!! I am putting the words here below, so you can see just how beautiful they are.

EVEN IN THE VALLEY

High upon this mountain
The sun is shining bright
My heart is filled with gladness
Even with the cares of life
But I’ve just come through the valley
Of trouble, fear, and pain
It was there I came to know my God
Enough to stand and say

Even in the valley – God is good
Even in the valley – He is faithful and true
He carries His children through
Just like He said He would
Even in the valley – God is good

This road of life has led you
To a valley of defeat
You wonder if the Father
Has heard your desperate plea
But there is hope in the rugged place
Where tears of sorrow dwell
Can’t you hear Him gently whispering?
“I’m here and ALL IS WELL.”

Even in the valley – God is good
Even in the valley – He is faithful and true
He carries His children through
Like he said he would
Even in the valley – God is good.
