The Valleys of Life I’ve viewed the world from lofty heights I’ve seen the towering snow-capped peaks From up above to valleys deep Just like the blazing sun that sets No longer do I rise above I stroll across a field of grain I venture to the woodlands Walking down a faded path Thinking back on younger years In valleys there is blessed peace
Marilyn Ferguson
I’ve flown just like a dove
I’ve perched upon the highest crest
On mountaintops above.
Where eagles dare to fly
I’ve touched the moon, the universe
I've soared across the sky.
I’ve lived so brave and bold
But now I’m slowing down a bit
I know I’m growing old.
The years have slipped away
I stop beside a peaceful stream
And close my eyes to pray.
The mountaintops on high
But down below, I quietly go
Where sheep and cattle lie.
Such beauty spilling over
A prairie filled with grass so green
A meadow full of clover.
Where a cricket can be heard
The sights and sounds are so profound
The chirping of a bird.
I relish in delight
The countryside has come to life
Like fireflies in night.
I always soared up high
I’m living in the valley now
My time on earth is nigh.
I never feel alone
I’ll walk in fertile pastures
Till my Saviour calls me home.
