When I'm low in spirit I cried 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. And He leads me besides still waters, Somewhere in the valley below. He draws me aside, to be tested and tried, But in the valley, He restoreth my soul. Its 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 those sorrows, And there's victory in trials for me. And 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. He draws me aside, to be tested and tried, but In the valley, In the valley, In the valley, He restoreth my soul.
