Through the Valley - Homeward Bound

Through the valley, I walk steadfast
with the Lord's hand holding mine,
and He guides me and He saves me
when my path, I cannot find.

With the love
of my Father,
I can face each new day.
With His grace,
I’m lifted higher,
as He parts my skies of gray.  

In the valley, wild flowers
meet my path where blue skies shine. 
Some are new blooms, some are fading,
What a blessing, every life!

Through the valley, I walk steadfast
with the Lord's hand holding mine,
and He guides me and He saves me
when my path, I cannot find.

With the love
of my Father,
I can face each new day.
With his grace,
I’m lifted higher,
as He parts my skies of gray.  

When I stumble, there's a mountain
rising in a golden sky.
At my journey's end, I’ll praise Him
on that mountain of pure light.

With the love
of my Father,
I can face each new day.
With his gift,
I’m lifted higher,
as He parts my skies of gray.  

Oh, He clears my skies of gray.

you were inspired spiritually by that music. I think I will never get around to this one at all. Too little time. I just know this will be a hit with Craig!!!
