Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Thank You For The Valley
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Thank You For The Valley
I found a slightly longer quote in a novel called Daniel by Mary Christner Borntrager. (Thorndike Press, 2000), page 139:
Thank you for the valley I walk through today.
The darker the valley, the more I learned to pray.
I found you where the lilies were blooming by the way.
And I thank you for the valley I walk through today.
The theme of the novel seems to suggest the song might be Amish. But do the Amish sing songs in English?
