In the Valleys

Devin Mitchell Durbin

 

In the valleys, at my lowest lows

I forget sometimes

How far I’ve rose.

In the valleys. I sometimes lose my sight

Of the King and what is light.

I am heavy and burdened down,

By the past I’ve drug around.

I thought I’d get there

Someday soon,

But here I am, in the valley.

In the valleys, in my deepest darks.

In the valleys, at the bottom of my heart.

I forget sometimes

How far I’ve rose.

In the valleys, I sometimes lose my sight

Of the King, and what is light.

You never leave me,

I just lose my way.

You don’t forsake me.

You call my name,

From the mountains you came down

To walk with me.

In the valleys, I make a step

From the valleys, You pave the way.

To the mountains, You take my hand.

In the valleys

I lost my sight.

With the King I see what is light.
