This is a song that was born out of Kay Howard's (a dear friend of mine) struggle with cancer. The Lord used one of my songs to minister to her heart during this difficult time. The Lord gave Kay these words through the "valley" experience she went through into wholeness! Some people give me songs with the admonition, "This song was given to me by the Lord." And to be honest, there are lots of times when I think...He gave it to you because HE didn't want it!" This was NOT the case with this song. Very few words of her lyrics were changed. It flowed very easily into song. Kay is available to give her testimony if you live anywhere around Lincolnton or Charlotte North Carolina. Personally, I think she needs to be asked to join the "Women of Faith" tour. From what I've heard her testimony is powerful!
Lyrics
My child you’re in a valley
The road’s so long and steep
But trust in me completely
I’ll be your strength when you are weak
Fear not I have redeemed you
Your name is written on my hand
Release your fears and worry
Though you do not understand
Chorus:
My grace is all sufficient
For what you’re going through
Remember I’m your Father
I know the plans I have for you
I’ve walked the road before you
And I will give you perfect rest
My grace is all sufficient
No matter what the trial or test
Call my name and I will answer
Show you great and mighty things
When the storms of life surround you
Hide in the safety of my wings
Be strong and of good courage
Release your every fear
I’ll never leave you or forsake you
My child I’m always here
Bridge
There is no shadow in my presence
Trust my heart and find my peace
I am your rock your mighty fortress
Your refuge from the enemy
Nice tune. Flowing melody, great lyrics and a powerful vocal delivery!
