It's in the valleys I grow
IT'S IN THE VALLEYS 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 mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.

I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
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 me 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 valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!

 Thank you DAngel73, for sharing this beautiful poem with us...it is so true..we definately grow in our trials...but none compare with what our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ went through for us. I particularily like the 2nd last verse: "Continue to strenghten me, Lord..And use my life each day..To share your love with others..And help them find their way" Amen...Thank you to Jane Eggleston, for her talent with words, and once again, DAngel73, thank you for sharing. God Bless.
