Let me Find your Joy in the Valley

When You lead me to the valley of vision
I can see You in the heights
And though my humbling wouldn't be my decision
It's here Your glory shines so bright
So let me learn that the cross precedes the crown
To be low is to be high
That the valley's where You make me
More like Christ

Let me find your grace in the valley
Let me find your life in my death
Let me find your joy in my sorrow
Your wealth in my need
That You're near with every breath
In the valley

In the daytime there are stars in the heavens
But they only shine at night
And the deeper that I go into darkness
The more I see their radiant light
So let me learn that my losses are my gain
To be broken is to heal
That the valley's where Your power is revealed

Thank you Lord for the words from this song Lord
I desperately need the pouring out of your healing touch
I desperately need to make sense of all that you bring into my life
My heart ponders, weeps and aches
I do want so much to be all that you made me to be
But, it is such a painful road Lord
Why are there so many valleys?
I know that I see your power more clearly
In the valley of depravity and brokenness

There is nothing in me that is praiseworthy
There is nothing in me that is beautiful
There is nothing in me that warrants recognition
There is nothing in me that is good

Thank you for reminding me that the cross comes before the crown
It is in the valleys that I taste the tears of Jesus
Thank you Lord for going before me
Or I would not stand
I would surely die my Lord
You are all I need
You are here with me
In my pain

Your love overwhelms and covers me!
