HOLD ON

5/9/12

I've been down in the Valley of Despair,
where a thousand terars are shed.
Way down deep in the Valley of despair,
where my faith was like a thread.

That thread of faith was my only hope,
and I held on in desperation -
Until I wove that thread into a hope,
it was the "Hope of my Salvation"

At times it seems I've been to hell and back,
but I've come back with a testimony.
The Lord was tghere to pick up the slack,
and never once did he leave me lonely?

There's death and doubt, and yes - despair,
down in the valley, as everyoneknows.
but I've come backwith a word to share,
it's to the valley that the river flows.

In the darkest part of that valley,
I came across the "River of Life"
A fountain that was flowing freely,
amid that barreness and strife.

Way down deep there in the valley,
amid the darkness and despair.
My spirit began to rally,
when I realised that the Lord was there.

He was right there beside me,
the shepherd that i'd heard of.
To comfort,lead and guide me,
into the light of the Father's love.

So hold on if you make that journey,
to where the bitter winds often blow.
With his rod and staff he'll comfort you,
no matter where you have to go.
