If It Takes A Valley Songtext
von Brian Free & Assurance

There′s been times when I've believed that your
Approval means a life that′s free from pain
Yet how many saints I know about
Have served you without any earthly gain
In their suffering, they discovered your sufficiency
And maybe sacrifice is where your sweetest blessings wait for me

If it takes a valley to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert where I'll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I′m traveling to some dark and lonely place
′Cause if it takes a valley
Then a valley's what I′ll take


Have I mentioned that I'm clinging to
Your promise that I′m safe within Your will
Have I told You how it feels to face
The enemy and know You're greater still
Guess I had to walk through danger, Lord, so You could show the way
You′d cover me with mercy and you'd never let me go

If it takes a valley to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert where I′ll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I′m traveling to some dark and lonely place
'Cause if it takes a valley
Then a valley′s what I'll take

I′m not saying circumstances never cause me fear
I'm just believing there is a purpose and even when it isn′t clear
If it takes a valley to really know your grace
Or if it's in the desert where I'll meet you face to face

If it takes a valley to really know your grace
Or if it′s in the desert where I′ll meet you face to face
Then turn the path I'm traveling to some dark and lonely place
If it takes a valley
If it takes a valley, if it takes a valley
Then a valley′s what I'll take
