Our living hope 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.

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

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

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

For persecution’s rewarded
Such an honor to bear
To walk the way, of His cross
In His sufferings, His life share.

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.
