Even In The Valley (English Ver.) / 就算身在幽谷

In life’s deepest and darkest valleys, the Lord is ever and always our strength and hope. May we worship Him, wait on Him and follow Him – even in the valley.

This piece was written and produced during the COVID-19 “circuit breaker” period in Singapore. Life’s valleys, however, extend far beyond a global pandemic.

The Chinese translation of this piece was first presented on 24 May 2020 (Aldersgate Sunday), at Queenstown Chinese Methodist Church's online worship service. The Chinese version is available at:    • 就算身在幽谷 (中文版) / Even In The Valley  .

Verse 1
Into the valley I stumble,
Afflicted I am, in every way.
Engulfed by fear, my courage crumbles,
O Lord – my only strength this day.

Verse 2
Here in the valley I’m broken,
Defenceless I am, no end in sight.
I toil in vain, my spirit shaken,
O Lord – my only hope this night.

Chorus
Even in the valley I will worship You,
Even in the valley I will wait on You,
Even in the valley I will follow You,
In the valley, Lord, I will.

Bridge
One day O Lord, You’ll lead me home,
From the valleys, to Your embrace.
No tears, no death and no more pain,
I’ll see Your glorious face!
