Psalm 25:1 The Valley of Desolation

In the Valley of Desolation all seemed lost.
Denying self and following Christ has great cost.
He had a plan before He created the world;
His plan complete before the universe unfurled.
His ageless will was He would become fully man
And save His chosen ones through His eternal plan.
Ever, ever will He save those trusting in him.
Never, never will they lose their dear lives again.
To You O Lord I lift up my sagging soul,
Knowing You will save me not in part but in whole.
In this light things do not seem so hopelessly dark.
In this Valley of Desolation He’s my Ark.
