"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee... who passing through the valley of Baca (weeping) make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.... the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He uphold from them that walk uprightly" (Psalm 84:5-7,11).
The lost who weep are surely right
That there is cause to weep.
One wonders how they sleep at night
Or sanity can keep!
The valley comes, it surely must,
Where death confronts them all.
The great things they pursued in lust,
Now seem so vain and small.
We're sent into this weeping world
Equipped with grace and glory.
With banners of God's love unfurled,
We tell redemption's story.
We have the fountainhead of joy
That fills the driest well!
The Gospel message we employ
Will save a soul from hell!
We go from strength to strength from God,
Like rain that fills the pools,
That overruns and sheds abroad
His love where Jesus rules.
Come before your Lord each day,
Then go to those with tears
To share through Christ the only way
Of joy for endless years.
