I didn’t see it coming
This valley below
I didn’t see it coming
So how could I know
I would trip over my actions
And the sharp words you said
I didn’t see it coming
And stumbled into dread
Of the sunrise each morning
What each day would bring
A way out of the valley
Or the same old thing?
No I didn’t see it coming
My focus was blurred
But you can’t believe everything
You’ve seen or you’ve heard
Regarding the valley
Did you know it disappears in
plain sight?
But lurks in the darkness
To trip you up in the night
And I didn’t see it coming
It caught me off guard
It trapped and imprisoned me
The days there were extremely hard
But I heard a still small voice speak
Unfolding in glory
And little did I know
The valley was a huge part of my story
So, no I didn’t see the valley coming
But it made me stronger each day
And without the valleys in my life
I would have nothing to say
To offer encouragement
To others just like me
Who’ve walked headstrong
Right into the valley
Not anticipating getting lost
Or falling off course
Never expecting the valley
To be the greatest source
For intimacy with my beloved
My Jesus, my King
No, I wouldn’t trade my valley experience For anything!
