"There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me."
~ "Peace In The Valley"
~ Written by Thomas A. Dorsey
~ 1937
~ Recorded by the great Elvis Presley
~ 1957
Bright wild yellow mustard brushes a soft peace on a
sun-filled May afternoon on a hillside of the Central Range of the Trexler
Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, the only sounds the rustling of
the spring breeze and the coo of a mourning dove. Perfect.
The color yellow is often associated with peace and
happiness.
To me, this scene illustrates the still and serene
beauty of God’s creation painted in that beautiful Gospel hymn “Peace in the
Valley,” recorded by the great Elvis Presley in 1957.
