Nathan Barr & Lisbeth Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the valley,
When the sun falls
Upon the pine,
I shall lay down
All of my troubles,
And I lift up,
This heart of mine.
Take me home, Lord,
Oh take me home.
O'er the hillside,
And o'er the sea,
To the soft grass of the valley,
Where your grace
Shall set me free.
Through the shadow
Of the darkness,
Through the storms that
Lead me astray
I shall travel
Forever knowing
In your light,
I will always stay.
Take me home, Lord,
Oh take me home.
O'er the hillside,
And o'er the sea,
To the soft grass of the valley,
Where your grace
Shall set me free.

In the sweet light
Of the valley,
When I am surrounded by the beauty of nature,
When the sun falls
Upon the pine,
As the sun sets and creates a peaceful atmosphere,
I shall lay down
All of my troubles,
I will release all my worries and problems,
And I lift up,
This heart of mine.
And embrace a sense of hope and renewal.
Take me home, Lord,
Oh take me home.
I long to return to a sense of safety and security,
O'er the hillside,
And o'er the sea,
No matter how difficult the journey may be,
To the soft grass of the valley,
I will find peace and tranquility,
Where your grace
Shall set me free.
And I will feel the loving embrace of a higher power.
Through the shadow
Of the darkness,
Even in the toughest times and darkest moments,
Through the storms that
Lead me astray
Even when life takes unexpected turns,
I shall travel
Forever knowing
I will keep moving forward with the knowledge that,
In your light,
I will always stay.
I will always have hope and find solace in a higher power.

The same for me someone must sing this song when I die soon. So gentle and soothing. I give this to my parents that are now gone. Set them free in Atlantic City at the Show Boat in the ocean. Who ever finds the cross they may have it for you need more than me.
