Oh sweet valleys below…
So precious to me
Who would I be
Had you not shaped me?
I give thanks
For all that I am
And all that I’m not
For every loss
For every gain
Through the laughter
Through the pain
Warmed with the sunshine
Drenched with the rain
With every step
I have been changed.
Oh sweet valleys below
On this mountain I wonder
I gaze and I ponder
Who would I be
Had you not broke me?
Sometimes choked me
Left me gasping for air
Oh deep despair!
You Defined. Refined. Sublimed.
Oh sweet valleys below
You are my treasure
My measure, my pleasure
Without you I would never be
All of me
Risen. Redeemed. And Free.
Oh sweet valleys below…
