Hills and Valleys - Song by Tauren Wells

And a man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 1 Kings 20:28

오늘 말씀을 보다가, 내가 평상시 좋아하는 찬양 Hills and Valleys가 떠올랐다. 

보통 산과 골짜기는 인생의 여정길에서 만나는 영적으로 높아짐과 낮아짐을 비유한다고 생각한다. 
하지만 이 가사는 내가 산과 골짜기에 있을때 나의 자세가 어때야함을 알려준다. 

When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone

산에 섰을 때에는 내 힘으로 한 것이 아님을,
골짜기를 지날 때에는 내가 혼자가 아님을,

On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah
In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah

그래서 내가 높아졌을 때 나는 엎드려 내 삶을 드리고, 
낮아졌을 때에는 서서 내 눈을 들어 주님을 보아야함을,

오늘 찬양 가사를 통해 묵상한다.
산과 골짜기의 하나님(God of the hills and valleys)을 찬양한다. 

 

 

 

I've walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven from my lowest place
And I have held the blessings
God, You give and take away

No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You're God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone

I've watched my dreams get broken
In You, I hope again
No matter what, I know I'm safe inside Your hand

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You're God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone

Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all

Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all

On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah
In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there (to the One who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone (I'm not alone)
You're God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You're the God of the hills)
And I am not alone

You're God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You're the God of the hills)
And I am not alone (the God of the valleys)

And I will choose to say, "Blessed be Your Name, yeah, yeah"
And I am not alone
