Thank You for The Valley I Walked Through Today

My cousins sang this song when I was a child.  I had it on a tape, and so I used to sing this song a lot.
A friend of mine put in her facebook status about walking through both valleys and mountains with God (after a loss), and reminded me again of this old gospel song.
I'm not really sure that I totally agree with the theology behind this song anymore, but it does remind me of my young teen years, so I am fond of it.
So I went on a Youtube hunt looking for the heartfelt version.

This one reminded me (in a good way) of my husband's grandmother's church.  This is actually one of the better versions on Youtube.



Here is one with lyrics and the picture of mountains - but bland pretty singing.

Now here is a small town Gospel church version - Nice southern voices!





and the 1969 version by the Rambos....the original?.....
