I was in the lowest valley,
All hope seemed to be gone.
I could no longer see the sunlight,
I had no more strength to go on.

I started to doubt and disbelieve
That the Lord was hearing my prayers.
I even cried and asked him,
"Why, Lord, do You not seem to care?"

Just when I started to give my hopes up,
And I thought I could not go on;
I whispered His name and I felt Him draw near,
And I no longer felt all alone.

I asked Him, "Oh, Lord, how long will it be
Before I finally see a light?"
He answered, "My child, keep holding on;
I am here, It will be alright."

It was soon that I felt the warmth of the sun
And saw a rainbow across my mind.
My strength came back and I no longer feared,
As He began to wipe all the tears from my eyes.

I felt so ashamed that I didn't trust
In His power so strong and true;
I begged His forgiveness for not trusting Him,
And doubting that He would come through...

When I thought He wasn't listening and just didn't care,
He was always right there by my side.
If I would have stopped to listen I would have heard Him say,
"Just trust in Me, it will happen in My time."

Never again will I doubt the Lord,
And His goodness and mercy for me.
If ever I start to, I will whisper His name,
And I know all of my fears will have to leave.

For in His will and His perfect time,
I know He will answer my prayers....
And I know that when it seems like the light is all gone
God's rainbow will soon appear.
