Song Lyrics...Valley of Decision

 Posted by Lisa Laree to Catching the Mosquito

I had a bee in the bonnet to dig through some past writing and came upon these lyrics I wrote back in 2015.  I had a tune in mind for it...but that has long slipped my mind.  However, the  imagery of the roads that just get farther apart the farther they go really struck me....the paths are farther apart today than they were 10 years ago....

Valley of Decision --- 7/2015 (Joel 3:14)

 

V1 -  The stakes are getting higher; can’t ignore the choice

          Between the clamor of the culture and God’s still and tender voice

          In the Valley of Decision all the roads diverge

          No compromise can bridge the gap; opposites can’t merge

           In the valley…the valley of decision

 

Chorus:   Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision

                 The day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision

                  Find the truth, find the truth in the valley of decision

                  Guard it close, hold it dear in the valley of decision

                  In the valley of decision

 

V2 -  The sands of time drain away, there’s nowhere to hide

          See the choices growing sharper – small and narrow, large and wide

          In the valley of decision don’t be led astray

          The default path will lead to death; choose the one true way!

          In the valley, the valley of decision

 

Bridge:   Stand strong!  Stand long!

                Stand upon the Word of God!

                 Fix your eyes on Jesus Christ

                 There’s vict’ry in the hand of God!
