"...my pen has not run dry of His grace..."

Life's Long Valley

By Nathan Sackett - July 2008


When life seems the hardest
When I stumble and fall
When I do things my way
When I run from Gods call

God is there right beside me
He gently pricks my soul
He convicts me of my sin
He wants to make me whole

Then I come to my savior
Hands lifted high and heart wide open
Realizing I myself am broken
Then his loving arms wrap 'round me
He picks me up and carries me

His love is so abounding
His grace unmerited and free
No matter what I do or where I go
His love is there for me

What can I do to repay Him
For all He's done for me
For nothing can repay my God
His Son who died for me

In all of life’s tough trials
In the deepest valleys low
Its there I feel God's hand the strongest
'cuz its there He lets me know

He'll never leave me or forsake me
For this one thing I know
Its these tough times that make me
Rest in God the most

Though I can not always see it
God is right there for me
To lead me and to guide me
Through all of Life's Long Valley
