Verse 1

When the path that I feared

Is the way He has set

And I long to give in and retreat

Still to Jesus I hold

As I face every step

For the Lord He will give me His peace

Chorus

Bless the Lord! He will give me His peace

And if I should remain in the valley today

Bless the Lord, He will give me His peace

Verse 2

When the road that I tread

Fills my heart with despair

And it seems that my grief has no end

Still to Jesus I hold

Who will walk with me there

And the Lord He will give me His strength

Chorus

Bless the Lord! He will give me his strength

And if I should remain in the valley today

Bless the Lord, He will give me His strength

Verse 3

On the road that You walked

With the weight of the cross

All my pain and my sorrow You held

So to you I shall hold

You redeem every loss

For my Lord, you have given yourself

Chorus

Bless the Lord! For he gives me Himself

And if I should remain in the valley today

Bless the Lord! For He gives me Himself
