Lord, help me to understand,
Walking in my valley
It always brings me back to the night I stared into your presence
And thanked you for where you had brought me.
My soul is enriched by these experiences
But troubled by what I feel
I can put on the mask and smile
My heart is truly grounded
But what I experienced, what I feel has no words
And each time I am in my valley
To gaze across soft pools of blue
To yearn for the gentle winds to caress my skin
To hear the thunderous happiness surrounding me
Why has this stuck with my spirit?
And when I visit my valley, why does it respond with such love?
Such connection?
Rippling on my horizon, the deep waves surface every now and then
And my heart soars
And my love deepens
And my valley will never know how much it means to me.
