Lyrics to "Lily of the Valleys"

Behold, you are beautiful

You are beautiful, my love;
Behold, you are beautiful

And your eyes, they are like doves

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun

Behold, our house is filled with love

At the table where we feast

Sweetest of apples and raisins

Our joy is released

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun

Merry Christmas from Hidden Streams! Into the dark and miserable places comes the Lord of Hope, the God who brings laughter out of sorrow, hope out of depressions and contentment into our restless hearts. Chad's meditation on this Psalm is beautiful and compassionate. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and the very best for you and your loved ones in 2025. Thank you for your support for this podcast. It takes a lot of work to put these together and we so appreciate your support in keeping this podcast going through all of the Psalms and now into Old Testament songs, and in the future, New Testament songs.
