I wrote this song specifically for a family who lost their pastor-husband/father in an unexpected snowmobile accident. I wanted to encourage them. But it isn’t just for them; it is for anyone who wrestles with fear in their life! God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and a sound mind. We don’t have to be afraid because God is with us, even in the dark times.
The music video is a highlight of our ministry. Getting the awesome privilege to partner with Pensacola Christian College turned out to be a wonderful experience, and these volunteer singers did a fantastic job. The technical crews from PCC did all the blocking, filming, and editing of the video, while I did the recording and editing of the music itself.

Verse One:
You can search all of this life
And never understand
Why the storms and all the strife
Seem unguarded by God's Hand.
Raise your weary head,
And lift your tired eyes.
Christ has conquered death!
And He listens when you cry.
Chorus:
There's no valley, there's no place
There's no danger you must face
Alone,
For He walks with you,
And cries your tears
before you do.
He is there, He is here, Don't you fear.
Verse Two:
His Word will be your light.
His voice will be your guide.
His hands will give you strength
With His Spirit by your side.
Raise your weary head,
And lift your tired eyes.
Christ has conquered death!
He will raise you to the sky!
Chorus:
There's no valley, there's no place
There's no danger you must face
Alone,
For He walks with you,
And cries your tears
before you do.
He is there, He is here, Don't you fear.
Bridge:
Why are you cast down, my soul?
And why have you no song?
Hope thou in God!
He is your tower strong!
God is my salvation, strength,
And He is now my song.
Hope thou in God!
He is your tower strong!
Chorus:
There's no valley, there's no place
There's no danger you must face
Alone,
For He walks with you,
And cries your tears
before you do.
There's no valley, there's no place,
Nowhere that's beyond His grace!
Be strong!
For He walks with you.
And knows your steps
before you do.
He is there, He is here, don't you fear.
He is there, He is here, don't you fear!
