Once more in the valley
with a faithful Friend.
However deep, however long,
His Presence will not end.
There is life here in abundance
and vestiges of death;
but, through it all, my faithful Friend
supplies with living breath.

The valley is extended,
I shall not be moved.
I shall be escorted as
He tells me I'm approved.
I'm steadied in a favor
none else may recognize;
reestablished as we look
into each others' eyes.

The valley is not permanent
His countenance affirms.
And there are greater promises
according to His terms!
Foremost: His certain Presence in
a place I barely see.
Wherever is the valley
Jesus Christ will also be.
