Author: John W. Peterson Hymnal: Praise! Our Songs and Hymns #362 (1979) First Line: I've been thru the valley, I've been thru the fire Refrain First Line: Jesus is with me — my shepherd and guide Lyrics: 1 I’ve been thru the valley, I’ve been thru the fire,
I’ve walked thru deep water, I’ve bowed in the mire;
I’ve fought in the battle with courage all gone,
But this is the reason I always go on:
Refrain:
Jesus is with me— my shepherd and guide,
All that I need He is there to provide;
That makes the diff’rence— this friend by my side,
Jesus is walking with me.
2 I’ve known disappointment, I’ve suffered some loss,
I’ve felt on my shoulder the weight of a cross;
I’ve wept in the darkness and wished for the light,
But somehow His presence gave songs in the night. [Refrain]
3 I’ve laughed on the mountain, I’ve savored success,
Rejoiced in my blessings— in more than in less;
I’ve tasted the good life while praising His name,
But sunshine or shadow it’s always the same. [Refrain] Topics: Guidance and Care Languages: English Tune Title: [I've been thru the valley, I've been thru the fire]
Jesus Is Walking with Me
