LESSONS IN THE SHADOW
Friday, June 9th in Poetry, Inspirational | 6 comments

There are lessons to learn in the shadow
That can never be learned in the light.
His rod and His staff they will comfort
And guide you through the night.
Be not anxious to get through the valley
With its weariness and care.
There are lessons to learn in the shadow.
For God will be with you there.

There are lessons to learn in the shadow,
That can never be learned in the light.
Restoration begins in the valley,
This is where God turns wrong into right.

There are lessons to learn in the shadow,
Our need of Him is best seen,
When traveling through the vale,
On Jesus we learn to lean.

There are lessons to learn in the shadow
Though we long for the morning to break.
As you traverse the darkness remember,
“He knoweth the way that I take!”

There are lessons to learn in the shadow
Do not pray for an easy time.
Ask God instead to be stronger
And He will teach you to climb.

Yes there are lessons to learn in the shadow
That can never be learned in the light.
When the valley’s dark clouds overtake you
We walk by faith not by sight.
So study and learn through the hard times.
When you pass the final test
The lessons you learned in the shadow
Will gain you a city of rest.
