When I'm low in spirit I cry 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 beside still waters
Somewhere in the valley below
And he draws me aside
To be tested and tried
In the valley he restoreth my soul

It's 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 my sorrow
And there's victory in trials for me

And he leads me beside still waters
Somewhere in the valley below
And he draws me aside
To be tested and tried
In the valley he restoreth my soul
