There are some lyrics we all especially treasure, certain lines that settle in especially near to our hearts. Personally, I often find myself pondering the words that begin CityAlight’s “In the Valley (Bless the Lord).” “When the path that I feared / Is the way He has set / And I long to give in and retreat.” While admitting I may be biased since CityAlight wrote the song to accompany my book Seasons of Sorrow, I believe the words describe an experience that every Christian knows.
