This week’s featured song story comes to us from Tauren Wells. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Hills & Valleys,” a song that was inspired by the quote “When you’re on the mountaintops of life, learn to bow low—and when you’re in the valleys of life, learn to stand tall.” Wells says he hopes the song encourages listeners to remember, “We’re standing in God’s grace, and His grace is enough—He’s the God of the hills and the valleys.”

“Hills & Valleys” Lyrics
I’ve walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I’ve felt the pain of heartbreak
And I’ve seen the brighter days
And I’ve prayed prayers to heaven from my lowest place
And I have held Your blessings
God You give and take away
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I’m standing in Your love
On the mountains I will bow my life to the One who set me there
In the valley I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys, hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
I’ve watched my dreams get broken
In You I hope again
No matter what
I know I’m safe inside Your hands
On the mountains I will bow my life to the One who set me there
In the valley I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys, hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
Father You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all You will remain over it all
On the mountains I will bow my life
In the valley I will lift my eyes
On the mountains I will bow my life to the One who set me there
In the valley I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys, hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
And I will choose to say
Blessed be Your name
And I am not alone
