I was listening to various versions of the Lonesome Valley song. Just looking for some input.
I've always thought that I or we have to walk that lonesome valley for ourselves. At least that is what the song lyrics say.
I often use that song when I'm tasked with a problem, or task, or journey. But now I wonder if I do have to walk that lonesome valley or if Jesus walked it for me.
Maybe God was with Jesus when he walked it and even though he had to walk it, he had his Father. Maybe when I have to walk it, I have his Father as well.
Maybe the song is not even scriptural? All I know is that sometimes it seems like we only have ourselves to get things done. Not that I've ever had an addiction but from what I'm told they have to walk that lonesome valley for themselves. Others and even God can help but the actual journey is theirs.
It's also used for a death in the family.
