The Whisnants

Hubby and I enjoy going to Southern Gospel concerts and Saturday night we were previous to see and listen to The Whisnants from South Carolina. They have been on the Southern Gospel charts for a few years and have a #1 at this time.

During the two years I was ill I was able to see them three times in our area. One of the songs that speak to my heart is "Even In The Valley" Their web site is www. thewhisnats.com You can go to their site and listen to any and all of their music. Here are the lyrics to the song.

“EVEN IN THE VALLEY”

High upon this mountain – the sun is shining bright
My heart is filled with gladness here above the cares of life
But I’ve just come through the valley of trouble, fear and pain
It was there I came to know my God enough to stand and say

CHORUS:
Even in the valley – God is good
Even in the valley – He is faithful and true
He carries his children through - like He said he would
Even in the valley – God is good

The road of life has lead you to a valley of defeat
You wonder if the father has heard your desperate plea
But there is hope in the rugged place where tears of sorrow dwell
Can’t you hear Him gently whispering “I am hear and all is well”

The chorus is sung a number of times and each time I hear the words my heart and body heals and joy enters. I know God is Good Even in the valley. Durning the concert they told us about a valley they were going through. Someone set their recording studio on fire and the whole building burnt to the ground.

I love music that ministers to my mind, body, soul, and spirit, too.

The lyrics are amazing and so is this post.

Love the lyrics! Without the valleys we would not appreciate the mountain tops! Glad you got to go to the concert, sounds like it was fun and uplifting! Too bad there is just so much hate in this world. Some day it will all be gone!
