Lyrics
IN THE VALLEYS AND ATOP THE MOUNTAINS VERSE ONE: (John) Like a vessel searching for the harbour from the sea Battered by the storms and the waves of this world I find hope in His word and abundant life Only through Jesus, my Lord and my King PRE-CHORUS: I will exalt Your name in the valleys and atop mountains, I will extol Your name throughout eternity. VERSE TWO: (John) When I think of the stars and the space beyond, I realize how small we are on this dot around the sun. This great universe was created by our God. I will honour Him, for He has remembered me PRE-CHORUS: I will exalt Your name in the valleys and atop mountains, I will extol Your name throughout eternity. CHORUS: In the valleys and atop the mountains, I'll praise You, Lord, like no other. I'll give my all to You, Jesus, 'cause You gave Your all to me, O Saviour I belong only to You, O Saviour. I belong only to You, O Dear Saviour. VERSE THREE (Richard): Like an infant yearning for its nurturing mother's milk, I'll hasten to You, Lord, for Your gracious words satiate my thirst. Make Your words vibrant and potent, Lord, inside of me, Let them illuminate my way like a guiding lamp, within.
