Everyone goes through valleys. You do, I do, we all do! It stinks sometimes! And you ask yourself, "Why am I going through this? What did I do to deserve this?" But, you know, sometimes you have to go through a valley to really become close to God... to really know His grace. 😌

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalms 23:4 (KJV)

Verse 1:
There's been times when i've believed Your approval means a life that's free from pain
Yet how many saints I know about have served you without any earthly gain
In their suffering they discovered your sufficiency, and maybe sacrifice is where your sweetest blessings wait for me

Chorus:
If it takes a valley, to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert, where I'll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I'm traveling to some dark and lonely place
Cause if it takes a valley, then a valley's what I'll take.

Verse 2:
Have I mentioned that I'm clinging to Your promise, that I'm safe within Your will
Have I told You how it feels to face the enemy, and know You are greater still
Guess I had to walk through danger Lord so You could show, the way You'd cover me with mercy and You'd never let me go.

Chorus:
If it takes a valley, to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert, where I'll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I'm traveling to some dark and lonely place
Cause if it takes a valley, then a valley's what I'll take

Tag:
I'm not saying circumstances, never cause me fear I'm just believing, there is a purpose even when it isn't clear
Cause if it takes a valley, to really to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert where I'll meet you face to face

Chorus:
If it takes a valley, to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert, where I'll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I'm traveling to some dark and lonely place

If it takes a valley, if it takes a valley, if it takes a valley, then a valley's what I'll take.
