In a Valley?



I've been listening to Sarah Masen's newest album "The Dreamlife of Angels" and it is music to my soul. (Here's a link to check it out: The Dreamlife Of Angels) This is one of my favorite songs so far, and I wanted to share the words with all of you (though they are much sweeter accompanied with her music!) I highly recommend the rest of the album as well!



The Valley

When it seems that darkness covers you

In the valley
I'll pray the kingdom comes soon
When daylight is a distant memory
In the valley
I'll pray that Jesus comes soon

Try not to be afraid for long if you can help it
In the valley
I'll send you a picture of my little girl
And like a flower you can burst forth smiling
Even in the valley
Still, I'll pray that Jesus comes soon

When it seems that you have nothing left to offer but your sorrow
Remember where there is grace there is no shame
And as it happens light has nowhere else to happen but
The valley
And maybe something's trying to break through

Anna,

Congratulations on the next big step in your life (through Facebook I gather you're moving to Ontario and I figure it's for school?) Hopefully we'll get together for coffee before you go... :) I'm glad you enjoyed these words- I pray them for you and hope you are having a wonderful day as well!
