Song of Songs 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Jesus, the One of truth, honesty, purity, love, and our burden bearer are but a few descriptions of our Lord.
No wonder we call Him The Lily of The Valley.
The Lily of The Valley
___________________________________
I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me, — He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; — The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see — All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. — In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay; — He tells me every care on Him to roll.
CHORUS:
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, — He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne; — In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r; — I’ve all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn — From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow’r. — Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, — Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. - - -
He’ll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, — While I live by faith and do His blessed will; — A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear, — From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. — Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face, — Where rivers of delight shall ever roll. - - -
