"Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills! Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places! And then all people will see the salvation sent from God." (Luke 3: 5-6 NLT)

Beyond The Valley

The sun is shining brighter somehow

There seems to be no more clouds.

Running faster to the hills I can see

There my Savior is waiting for me.

Expressions on His face tell me of His grace.

He says, "Why have you been so long in this place?

Come my child and take my hand

You are written in my eternal plan.

I will lead you on to distant lands

Not inhabited by the race of man.

Come fast and I will show you the way

Do not linger here another day.

Watch those rocks along the path here

Do not stumble and cause fear.

Never be afraid for I will be your guide

If you need shelter in my arms, hide.

Watch my face and you'll do fine

Because these mountains are hard to climb.

If you should slip hold on tight

I will lead you through the stormy night.

Never give up my child keep moving onward now,

And one day you will understand some how!"
