In the low place\u2026<\/h6>\n
The place, where darkness dwells and endless tears fall like tiny diamonds in the rough<\/h6>\n
Where the heart falters, and hope, is but a distant glimmer, a dream through misty fog\u2026<\/h6>\n
Have you been to the low place?<\/h6>\n
Have you been pressed and crushed so deeply that even your cries cannot be uttered? Groans chocked in unspeakable sounds, suppressed down into the pit of the low place\u2026<\/h6>\n
Where being numb is all you feel. Trying to pray but there are no words \u2026<\/h6>\n
Child, that\u2019s where I met you on that hill so long ago\u2026<\/h6>\n
You see I\u2019ve been to the low place and I\u2019ve seen your face\u2026<\/h6>\n
You have only to look up\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s in the low place where surrender is all you have to give\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s in the low place where fear must give way to faith\u2026<\/h6>\n
Mountains tremble and shake\u2026fires are extinguished and waters make flowers bloom in the desert, it\u2019s a place where time and space collide\u2026and even though you want to hide<\/h6>\n
Behind the shadow of darkness, I, am, there!<\/h6>\n
For I conquered Hell, Death and the Grave\u2026<\/h6>\n
Precious one, be brave\u2026You are not alone\u2026<\/h6>\n
For it\u2019s in the low place you will gain<\/h6>\n
New Joy, New Strength, a New name\u2026<\/h6>\n
Life, everlasting life, was born on the low place of that cross I bore for you\u2026<\/h6>\n
Do not despair, and don\u2019t give up!<\/h6>\n
Look up, and give a sacrifice of praise\u2026<\/h6>\n
Open your mouth and SING, let my Angels bring\u2026<\/h6>\n
Refreshing and restoration out of the low place<\/h6>\n
And in this spring, living waters will fill you with a glorious renewal for your soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
Be Bold! Step into the light\u2026<\/h6>\n
Open the windows of your heart; come out of the night\u2026<\/h6>\n
Little one, you\u2019re going to be alright\u2026<\/h6>\n
Laughter and rejoicing will flood the low place<\/h6>\n
With my all sufficient amazing Grace\u2026<\/h6>\n
I want to see you face to face\u2026<\/h6>\n
The night is over and the dawn is breaking\u2026<\/h6>\n
Rejoice! Rejoice! And again, I say rejoice!<\/h6>\n
Sorrow is for the night, but JOY comes in the morning!!<\/h6>\n
Child, it\u2019s morning!!! Get up!!!<\/h6>\n

Psalm 30:1-12 The Living Bible<\/em><\/h6>\n
I will praise you, Lord, for you have saved me from my enemies. You refuse to let them triumph over me. O Lord my God, I pleaded with you, and you gave me my health again. You brought me back from the brink of the grave, from death itself, and here I am alive!<\/em><\/h6>\n
Oh, sing to him you saints of his; give thanks to his holy name. His anger lasts a moment; his favor lasts for life! Weeping may go on all night, but in the morning, there is joy.<\/em><\/h6>\n
In my prosperity I said, \u201cThis is forever; nothing can stop me now! The Lord has shown me his favor. He has made me steady as a mountain.\u201d Then, Lord, you turned your face away from me and cut off your river of blessings. Suddenly my courage was gone; I was terrified and panic-stricken. I cried to you, O Lord; oh, how I pled: \u201cWhat will you gain, O Lord, from killing me? How can I praise you then to all my friends? How can my dust in the grave speak out and tell the world about your faithfulness? Hear me, Lord; oh, have pity and help me.\u201d Then he turned my sorrow into joy! He took away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy so that I might sing glad praises to the Lord instead of lying in silence in the grave. O\u00a0Lord my God, I will keep on thanking you forever!<\/em><\/h6>\n
