This Is Our God
Hope in the Valley: Embracing God's Love and Restoration
Lyrics
We may walk through a valley of sorrow
We may experience difficult times and challenges.
There is One who holds tomorrow
Despite challenges, there is a higher power in control of the future.
He keeps watch over His own
God watches over and protects those who belong to Him.
When Days are long, and nights are longer
In tough times, when days seem endless, and nights are even longer.
Like the dawn, His light will conquer
Similar to the dawn breaking, God's light will overcome darkness.
He has said He will be near
He has promised to be close to us during difficult times.
He sees us in our weeping
God observes our sorrow and comforts us.
He wipes our tears away
He actively comforts by wiping away our tears.
How strong and kind, the love of the Father
Describing the strength and kindness of the Father's love.
He'll not abandon His sons and daughters
Assurance that God will never abandon His children.
This is our God, we can trust in Him
Expressing trust in God; He is the one to rely on.
One day this valley will become a city
Looking forward to a future where difficulties are replaced by glory.
We'll walk together in all of His glory
Envisioning a time of unity and praise in a transformed city.
Singing songs of endless praise
Singing praises that have no end.
He'll turn our mourning to laughter
Hope for a transformation from sadness to joy.
He will restore our joy
God will bring back joy that may have been lost.
How strong and kind, the love of the Father
Reiteration of the strength and kindness of the Father's love.
He'll not abandon His sons and daughters
Reassurance that God will not forsake His children.
This is our God, we can trust in Him
Repeated affirmation of trust in God.
On that day He'll destroy death forever
Anticipation of a day when death will be overcome.
This is our God, there is no other
Emphasis on the uniqueness of God; no other compares.
Let us rejoice and be glad in Him
Celebration and joy in God.
This is our God, we can trust in Him
Reiterated trust in God.
We will delight in your law, oh Lord
Commitment to finding joy in God's teachings.
You keep your word. Your love restores
Acknowledging God's faithfulness in keeping His promises.
You're worthy, worthy of all our praise
Affirmation of God's worthiness of praise.
How strong and kind, the love of the Father
Restating the strength and kindness of the Father's love.
He'll not abandon His sons and daughters
Reassurance that God remains steadfast with His children.
This is our God, we can trust in Him
Reaffirmation of trust in God.
How strong and kind the love of the father
Emphasis on the strong and kind love of the Father.
This is our god no there is no other
Declaring that there is no other god but Him.
Let us rejoice and be glad in him
Invitation to rejoice and find gladness in God.
For this is our god we can trust in him
Final affirmation of trust in God.
