I've been walking through a valley It was dark and it was drear Yet in the middle of my sorrow I heard Jesus say child I'm still here But without a valley How would I ever know That his strong and gentle hand will never let me go How would I know for sure that I'm secure Without a valley how would I know So I thank you Lord For this trial How you're teaching me Your perfect love You have shown that I Can still have joy inside Even though the road seems long and rough But without a valley How would I ever know That his strong and gentle hand will never let me go How would I know for sure that I'm secure Without a valley how would I know How would i know for sure That I'm secure and safe where'er I go Without a valley How would I know Without a valley How would I know how would I know Without a valley
