Valley of Shadows

We all must walk this lonesome road

But You have walked this way before

And you go with me through the woes

And so I’ll not fear death anymore

We all must past through death’s valley

But here in shadowlands we  thrive

Because mere shadows pass away

When you light the path it comes alive

In the valley of shadow Death’s sting abaits

Christ leads the way If we’ll but wait

For we need not go on alone

Through places we have never known

We have a guide to lead us home.

And though the road goes deep and low

Our sovereign sojourner will guide

He knows the path, the snares he knows

And he stores up the tears we’ve cried

Bridge

Though evil may surround me

Temptation won't confound me

With my shepherds arms around me

My keeper will keep

Me in the darkness deep

For His presence will astound me.

In the valley of shadow Death’s sting abaits

Christ leads the way If we’ll but wait

For we need not go on alone

Through places we have never known

We have a guide to lead us home.
