Though we have many valleys

to travel and mountains to climb

And by nature we are inclined

to fear the unknown

Life rewards those of us who accept

the call to go where we've never been

even when we, seemingly, have to

go it alone.

Peace in the Valley

 
Oh well, I’m tired and so weary

But I must go along

Till the lord comes and calls me away,

oh yes.

Well the morning's so bright,

And the Lamb is the light,

And the night, night is as black as the sea,

oh yes.
 
There will be peace in the valley

for me some day.

There will be peace in the valley for me,

oh Lord I pray.

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow,

no trouble I’ll see.

There will be peace in the valley for me,

for me.

 Well the bear will be gentle,

and the wolf will be tame,

And the lion shall lie down by the lamb,

oh yes.

And the beasts of the wild

shall be led by a little child

And I'll be changed,

changed from this creature that I am,

oh yes.

 There will be peace in the valley for me

some day.

There will be peace in the valley for me,

oh Lord I pray.

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow,

no trouble I’ll see.

There will be peace in the valley for me,

for me

God is my salvation and my glory;

the rock of my strength

Psalm 62:7

If we had no winter;

the spring would not be so pleasant;

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,

prosperity would not be so welcome.
