Hidden Valleys

I just completed reading Beth Moore's book on the life of David. Such wonderful stuff! Among the annals of redeemed failures in the Word of God, David is probably the most celebrated. Boy, can I identify with him!

This morning, a song came to my mind and I have sung it all day and celebrated its messages. Recorded by Steve Green some 15+ years ago, the song captures the heart of the journey which God desires for all His children.



Hidden Valleys

"In a hidden valley just over the hill
A young shepherd boy surrenders his will
As he lifts his voice in praise to his King
Only the lambs will hear and follow as he sings"

"In a hidden valley a faithful one leads
No one looking on, he cares for their needs
For he knows the One who tries the heart
So he is steadfast and content to do his part"

Hidden valleys produce a life song
Hidden valleys will make a heart strong
Desperation can cause you to sing
Hidden valleys turn shepherds to kings


"In a hidden valley a leader is born
He has faced the fierce and weathered the storm
So with humble heart and love for his God
He becomes royalty with just a staff and rod"

Hidden valleys produce a life song
Hidden valleys will make a heart strong
Desperation can cause you to sing
Hidden valleys turn shepherds to kings
