Through the Valley of the Shadow

Through the valley of the shadow
when you think all hope is gone,
and the darkness looms before you
with no chance of seeing dawn,

Trust in Christ, a man of sorrow,
one acquainted too with grief.
He has been betrayed and beaten,
left alone with no relief.

Understanding tribulation,
hunted from His day of birth,
He would ease your pain and anguish.
Do you know what you are worth?

Can the price He paid be valued
by the tears and blood He shed?
By the blame that He accepted?
Or the pleading voice that said,

"Oh, my Father, please forgive them,
for they know not what they do."
When someone gives you that much love,
can you doubt He'll see you through?
