HOLD ON

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

That thread of faith was my road to hope, and I held on in desperation.
Until I woke that thread into a rope - 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 there 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 everyone knows.
But I've come back with 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 foundation that, was flowing freely, amid that barrenness and strife.

Way down deep - there in that 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 words often blow -
With his rod and staff, he'll comfort you, no matter where you may have to go.

Glory be to God!
