I got your message on the phone so tell me what's going on?
You say your day started so great and then it went so wrong
No one ever plans for the bad days, do they, no
But I am here if you're needing a friend
Hey, don't give up tonight
I know you're going through the valley, but you're gonna make it out alright
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Go on and leave it in the valley, leave it in the valley tonight
So you think He don't know what He's doing
You think He ain't by your side
Well, God knows when you're broken
And He's loving you, He's holding you so, so tight
So let the rain fall He'll be standing there getting wet with you
You might get cold but you won't be there alone
[Chorus]
And when you're hanging by a thread hold on
You know the darkest part is right before the dawn
So when your fear has worn you out
Feels like the sky is on the ground
He ain't gonna let you down
He'll never let you down
"Leave In The Valley" by Mandisa is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the struggles and challenges we face in life. The song encourages us to not give up, even when we find ourselves in the depths of the valley. It reminds us that God is with us in our darkest moments and that He will never let us down.
The lyrics of the song remind me of the story of Joseph in the Bible. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers and faced many trials and tribulations. He was falsely accused and thrown into prison, but through it all, he never lost faith in God. Eventually, Joseph rose to a position of power and was able to save his family and the entire nation of Egypt from a severe famine.
In the same way, when we find ourselves in the valley, it can be easy to lose hope and question God's plan. But just like Joseph, we can trust that God is working behind the scenes and that He will bring us through the difficult times.
One verse that comes to mind is Psalm 23:4, which says, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." This verse reminds us that even in the darkest of valleys, God is with us, guiding and protecting us.
Another verse that relates to the theme of the song is Romans 8:28, which says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This verse reassures us that even in our trials and struggles, God is working everything together for our good.
The song also emphasizes the importance of leaning on God and leaving our burdens in His hands. It encourages us to let go of our worries and trust that God is in control. This reminds me of Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
"Leave In The Valley" is not just a song, but a message of hope and encouragement. It reminds us that no matter what we are going through, we can find strength and comfort in God. It encourages us to keep pressing on, knowing that God is by our side and will never let us down.
In conclusion, "Leave In The Valley" by Mandisa is a song that speaks to the struggles we face in life and encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness. It reminds us to not give up, but to lean on God and leave our burdens in His hands. Through the lyrics of the song and the verses in Scripture, we are reminded of God's presence in our lives and His promise to work all things together for our good.
