Through the valley...

I've heard this song "Mountain of God" by Third Day numerous times, but as I listened to it again today, the lyrics just hit me right where I'm at and encouraged me so much.

It's amazing how the Lord has just brought songs and verses to my mind just when I need to hear or read them.

I hope it is an encouragement to you as well, that He is with us through every step of life's journey, whether we are in the midst of a dark valley or on the mountain tops.

Thought that I was all alone

Broken and afraid

But You were there with me

Yes, You were there with me

And I didn’t even know

That I had lost my way

But You were there with me

Yes, You were there with me

‘Til You opened up my eyes I never knew

That I couldn’t ever make it

Without You

Even though the journey’s long

And I know the road is hard

Well, the One who’s gone before me

He will help me carry on

After all that I’ve been through

Now I realize the truth

That I must go through the valley

To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road

That You have lead me down

You are here with me

Yes, You are here with me

I have need for nothing more

Oh, now that I have found

That You are here with me

Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time

I lose my way

But You are always there

To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I’ve come from

And the things I’ve left behind

But of all I’ve had, what I possessed

Nothing can quite compare

With what’s in front of me

With what’s in front of me
