It's in the Valleys I Grow - Author Unknown

 

 

 

It was Jesus who prayed for me!

 

Only One Life, Lord

 

Remember me Lord!

 

Someone Prayed for Me Today!

 

 

 

 

Hope in God

 

When you are cast down, hope in God.

When hope fails, hope in God.

When courage fails, hope in God.

When all else fails, hope in God.

 

 

 

You are...

 

You are my hope, Lord!

You are my future, Lord!

You are my strength, Lord!

You are my all, Lord!

 

 

 

Be Strong in the Lord!

 

Be strong in the Lord!

Persevere till the end!

Fight the good fight!

Finish the race!

Keep the faith!

Don't be a loser!

But be a finisher!

You can do it through Christ,

Who Strengthens you!

 

 

 

True Faith

 

True faith keeps asking,

True faith keeps seeking,

True faith keeps knocking,

True faith doesn't give up,

True faith lays hold of God's promises,

True faith perseveres despite difficulties,

True faith overcomes any doubt or unbelief,

True faith walks by faith not by sight,

True faith obtains promises.

 

 

 

Man of Sorrows

 

Lord Jesus, I thank Thee,

For becoming a Man of Sorrows for me.

You loved me this much,

That You became a Man of Sorrows for me.

You bore my grief and my pain,

In Thy agony on Calvary.

I love Thee Lord Jesus,

And I want to live for Thee!

 

 

 

Lord I long to be like Thee

 

Lord I long to be like Thee.
Cleanse me from this mortal flesh.
Make me like Thee, Lord!
Let me reflect Thee to others, Lord.
Let the fragrance of Christ flow from me Lord.

 

 

 

Lord, who am I?

 

Lord, who am I that You should take note of me?

I am but a speck of dust in Thy universe.

But I thank You that You take note of me.

For Your eye is on the sparrow,

And I know that You are watching me!

 

 

 

You are able Lord!

 

You are able Lord!

I refuse to believe You cannot help me!

My God is able and more than able!

Depart from me ye evildoers;

For the Lord will receive my prayer!

Let all my enemies be ashamed and confounded;

For I trust in Him!

 

 

 

Higher Ground!

 

Lord we want to get closer to Thee!

"Higher Ground, Higher Ground,"

This is our plea!

Lead us onto Higher Ground!

Grant us more love to Thee;

And for Thy dear Son.

Let us be lost in His love.

In His name we ask this, believing. Amen.

 

 

 

You are the One

 

You are the One,

Who made me something,

When I was nothing.

You are the lifter up of my head!

You are my boast all the day long.

 

 

 

When Will That Day Be?

 

Lord remember me!

When will that day be,

To glory in Thee and to rejoice in Thee?

Let that day be soon Lord,

Even soon.

Grant me faith, patience, and hope.

Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

 

 

 

God Gave Me the Victory!

 

 God Gave Me the Victory!

Yes, God Gave Me the Victory!

Hallelujah, for God Gave Me the Victory!

 

 

 

None That …

 

 None that wait upon the Lord shall be ashamed.

None that seek Him shall be confounded.

None that look to Him shall be disgraced.

None that go to Him shall return empty-handed.

 

 

 

I give you my life, Lord

 

I give you my life, Lord!

Here am I, use me Lord!

Send me!

Fill me!

 

 

 

God has remembered me!

 

God has remembered me!

He has looked upon my affliction and pain!

He has heard my cry!

He has received my prayer!

Blessed be God!

Who has not turned away my prayer!

Nor His mercy from me!

 

 

 

God is my Hope

 

God is my hope

He will see me through

Why are you troubled, O my soul?

Hope in thy God

For you shall praise Him again,

Even once again!

 

 

 

Without Him

 

Without Him I can do nothing.

Without Him I will surely fall.

Without Him I will surely fail.

Without Him I am nothing.

But with Him “I can do all things

Through Him who strengthens me.”

With Him I am something.

With Him I will surely make it.

 

 

 

My Future and My Hope

 

He is my future and my hope.
He makes life worth living.
Without Him life has no meaning.
He is my hope for the future.
He is the open door.
He gives meaning to my life.
He is my joy and my strength.
He is the reason I can go on.

 

 

 

He Keeps Me Singing

 

He keeps me singing,

When the night is all around me.

He keeps me singing,

When there is nothing but despair.

He “surrounds me with songs of deliverance”

And gives me “songs in the night.”

 

 

 

 O My Soul, Why So Cast Down?

 

O my soul, why so cast down?

Why so troubled within me?

Hope in thy God!

For you shall praise Him once again.

O for the joy that I shall once again praise Him!

 

 

 

Lord, I Want…

 

Lord, I want to know You!
Show me thy glory,
Like You showed Moses.
Lord, I want to know Your power!
Work in me mightily.
Lord, I want to be used by You.
“Here am I, send me.”

 

 

 

With God All Things Are Possible

 

With God all things are possible!
Nothing is too hard for Him!
Nothing is too difficult for Him!
He made the Heaven and the Earth
and there is nothing too hard for Him!
Surely He can help me!
For nothing is too difficult for Him!

 

 

 

Jehovah-Jireh My Provider

 

Jehovah-Jireh my provider.
He can supply all my needs.
He provides for the sparrow,
and will He not provide for me?

 

 

 

Peace

 

He creates peace within,
When the storms are inside.
He rebukes the wind and the sea,
And He says unto me, "Be still and know that
I am God."

 

 

 

My God is the God of the Impossible

 

My God is the God of the impossible,
He will make a way when there is no way.
He will make a light when it is all dark.
He will open a door when all doors are shut.
My God is the God of the impossible.

 

 

 

My God is the God of Answered Prayer

 

My God is the God of answered prayer!
He will hear my prayers!
He will receive my cry!
He will bow down and listen to me!
He will surely send me help.
Depart from me ye evil doers.
For the Lord will receive my prayer!
The Lord will receive my supplications!
For my God is the God of answered prayer!

 

 

 

God Cares for Me!


God cares for me,
God cares for me,
Yes, even though the whole world might forsake me,
Yet I know that God cares for me!
God cares for me,
God cares for me,
Yes, God cares for me,
Even me!

 

 

 

Jesus


Jesus, Jesus, the name above all names.
He will take care of you.
He will watch over you.
He will not fail you or forsake you.
He is a friend in trials sore.
He is the one who makes me whole.
Jesus, Jesus, is more precious than silver and gold.
He will comfort, strengthen, and uphold you.
He will shepherd and lead you besides still waters.
He will calm your soul in troubled times,

And will wrap His arms around you and console you.

 

 

 

Truly Every Good Gift

 

Truly every good gift is from Thee!
My talents, my abilities,
My peace, my joy,
My wealth, my health, is from Thee.
Thou art my refuge, my strength,
My provider, my sustainer,
Truly every good gift is from Thee!

 

 

 

He Is My Hope!

 

When it looks all gloomy,
He is my hope!
When I feel discouraged,
He is my hope!
When my soul is cast down within me,
He is my hope!
For “the Lord is my portion saith my soul,
Therefore I have hope in Him.”
When trouble is near and my soul is disquieted within me,
Yet I will hope in Him “for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.”

 

 

 

Fear Not

 

"Fear not", He says unto me,
When fears overwhelm me.
"I will help you", He says,
When I feel helpless.
"I am with you", He says unto me,
When I feel alone.
"I will strengthen you" and
"I will uphold you," He says,
When I am feeling weak.
"For I am the Lord your God who will
Hold your right hand saying unto you
'Fear not I will help you.'"

 

 

 

Only One Life

 

Only one life

I want to see His glory.
Only one life,
I want to see His power.
Only one life,
I want to live it to the full.
I want to claim His promises.
I want to move mountains.
I want Him to be glorified in my life.
I want to be zealous and jealous
for Him to get all the glory.

 

 

 

Today is the Day, O Christian!

Today is the day, O Christian!
Today is the day to abide in Him.
Will thou be ashamed before Him at His coming?
Today is the day to serve Him.
Will thou hide thy talent?
Will thou not rather have Him say "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
Today is the day to be zealous for Him.
Does thou not have only one lifetime?
Will thou not give thine all unto Him?
Today is the Day, O Christian!

 

 

 

God is My Best Friend

 

 God is my best friend.

He is there for me 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

He never gets tired of me.

Friends may get tired of me and forsake me,

Yet my God never does,

For He is my best friend.

He never sleeps or slumbers.

He watches over me day and night.

He keeps me in His loving tender care.
