Valley of the Lord

​I will rise to the sky and not look down.
I feel free, I feel light, as I float to heaven above.
What has happened?
Why do they cry?
I’ve been liberated,
my incarceration is over.
my blessings are many.
Do not feel sad,
do not fear my fate,
for that has revealed itself,
and now I am safe.
For I’ve seen the Valley of the Lord,
and it is there I suffer no more.
It is there in the glorious
sun-soaked-green fields
that I find my soul,
resting in the breeze
that wisps upon your cheek.
It is me at peace.
calming your heart,
easing your mind,
drying your tears.
For I will rise to the sky,
and waken in the Valley of the Lord.
