Victories on the way, though valleys we may tread,  
Through shadows deep and heavy, where hope seems almost dead,  
Yet in the midst of hardships, a light begins to gleam,  
For through Jesus, there's a victory waiting in the stream.  

The valley rests between two peaks, a journey in between,  
A place where faith is tested, where fears can be unseen,  
But from the depths we gather strength, a courage firm and true,  
To climb the next great mountain, with skies of endless blue.  

For every valley passed, a mountaintop awaits,  
Where joy and peace will greet us, beyond the narrow gates,  
And as we climb each rise, with faith to guide our way,  
We know the strength we gain today will serve another day.  

So let each valley teach us, let each summit make us strong,  
For victories are on the way, through every trial long,  
And as we journey forward, our hearts will ever pray,  
That faith will grow with every step, and guide us on our way.
