Grace to endure Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Our Deep Valleys

So midst our own, deep dark valleys
We oft’ recall, our wrong behavior
Yet focus not, upon our failures
But trust in Christ, our risen Savior.

Facing fierce fires, to burn dross
Trusting Jesus, we lay hold
Be surrendered, and stay faithful
We shall come forth as gold.

Do you yearn to draw nearer
So filled, by God’s Spirit?
Take this vessel, so faulty
Come restore LORD, and fill it.

“To revive the spirit, of the humble
Revive the heart, of those contrite”
Our Master Potter, can reshape
We His clay, remold aright.

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.

God offers a promise
If His people will pray
And humble ourselves
Walk in His way.

You are my hiding place
And also my shield
I hope in Your Word
There Your love, revealed.

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.
