Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

When I'm low in spirit I cry Lord lift me up

I want to go higher with Thee

But the Lord Knows I can't live on a mountain

so He picked out a valley for me

Chorus

He leads me beside still waters 

somewhere in the valley below

He draws me aside

to be tested and tried 

but in the valley He restoreth my soul


It's dark as a dungeon 

and the sun seldom shines

And I question Lord why must this be

Then He tells me there's strength in my sorrow

and there's victory in trials for me


Chorus

He lead me beside still waters 

somewhere in the valley below

He draws me aside

to be tested and tried but 

in the valley He restoreth my soul


Tag:

Yes in the valley, In the valley, He restoreth my soul
