Not sure who the author is but I thank God for it and would love to share it with you too! 
It’s in the Valley We Grow
Sometimes life seems hard to bear
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It’s then we have to remember
That it’s in the valleys we grow.
If we always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
We would never appreciate God’s love
And would be living in vain.
We have so much to learn
And our growth is very slow,
Sometimes we need the mountain tops,
But it’s in the valleys we grow.
We do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.
The little valleys are nothing
When we picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan’s loss.
Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I’m feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it’s in the valleys I grow.
Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for the valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it’s in the valleys I grow!
Psalm 23
[1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
[2] He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
[3] He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
[4] Yea, 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.
