Ts we walk through this life of joys and sorrow,
We glimpse the valley of the shadow of Death,
Especially when a friend or loved one,
Draws their last mortal breath,
Death is a part of living,
And something we all must face,
We all start to die from the moment we are born,
The result of sin in the human race.
Thoughts of the valley of the shadow of death,
Strikes fear in the hearts of men,
They make men break out in a cold,cold sweat,
They make men cower and cringe.
We don't like to think about dying,
We feel that it is an end,
When in truth it is but a doorway,
To a new life for us to began.
What type of new life it will be,
Is up to us to decide,
Everlasting torment in the flames of hell,
Or everlasting paradise at the Savior's side.
Sin began with Adam and Eve,
Death is that sin's costly price,
Though sin begins at the moment of birth,
It ends with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus was sent from our Father above,
To be born unto mortal men,
To die on the cross at Calvary,
For His blood to wash away all our sins.
He walked through the valley of the shadow of death,
So that by His death we might be saved,
But the darkness of the shadow could not hold Him,
For He rose up again from the grave.
He walked again among the living,
As proof of His power and might,
To show that the shadows of the valley,
Succumb to His everlasting light.
If we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior,
He will be our light, and our guide,
And when we enter the valley of the shadow of death,
He will be right by our side.
He will hold our hands, and guide us home,
To heavens crystal sea shore,
Where in His love, power and grace,
We will live forever more.
