Red Letter Society's reimagined version of 'Valley' boldly journeys into the raw corners of human experience. With nicely tweaked melodies and familiar, heartfelt words, it addresses themes of despair and depression faced by many people. Throughout the song, the lyrics reaffirm hope and emphasize the joy we can feel when we journey with Jesus.
The song encourages you to sing along in victory, even when the depths of a new 'valley' loom ahead. The song reminds us that God remains sovereign, comforts us in the middle of our challenges, and supports us during our darkest moments. The Red Letter Society manages to deliver this message with intimate relatability, making it even more personal.
'Valley' brings up feelings of joyfulness, a feeling that goes deeper than mere superficial happiness, because this 'joy' is based on a holy peace that we can only find in the presence of God. The song declares that this joy doesn't change; it doesn't fade when we face times of sorrow because this joy is fueled by God's victory.
The song has the energy of pop music, and is both a worship anthem and a battle cry for anyone who is going through difficult times. It boosts faith so that we stand strong as we face trials, pain, and those moments where we feel all alone and overwhelmed by perceived emptiness.
The lyrics emphasize the power of Christ's victory over death, a power that is so fierce that it causes the largest of enemies that we face, our own fear, to surrender. The chorus is one of victory, an invitation to sing along as the words echo the freedom that Christ's sacrifice on the cross has given us.
Listen to this version of 'Valley.' Let the message behind this song reach into your darkest valleys, chase away your fears, and encourage you to lift your eyes to the triumph of victory that awaits us when we let God fight our battles.
