I heard this song at a session the other night. The singer said it was by Alan Taylor. Does anyone have the lyrics and possibly a tune?
Thanks for any help you can give.
John

Susanne(skw) has it listed at her website--http://mysongbook.de/msb/songs/d/d_titel.html
but doesn't have a link to the lyrics. That could mean she is not certain of the lyrics or doesn't have it yet. Maybe she'll check in here.

There's darkness in the valley, but light upon the hill.
With Jesus there to guide me, I guess He always will.
He'll help me if I stumble, hold me should I fall,
For He is always near me, whenever I may call.
Whenever I may call, whenever I may call,
For He is always near me whenever I may call.

We'll walk the path together and nothing will I fear.
He'll comfort me in darkness if shadows do appear,
But if my burden's heavy, He'll help me with my load,
And we will journey onward, along the rocky road.
Along the rocky road, along the rocky road,
And we will journey onward, along the rocky road.

There are those who live in weakness and take his name in vain,
And those who wander off the path and live the life of shame,
But if we chose to love Him and take His shining sword,
We'll stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord.
And battle for the Lord, and battle for the Lord,
We'll stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord.

This sounds like a call for Christian jihad. Why would you want to sing those words?
