Tauren Wells, “Hills and Valleys”: Sunday Refresh 🙏 No. 20 (2022) [📷: Brent Faulkner, Clker-Free-Vector-Images, Gerhard G., JL G, The Musical Hype, Pixabay, Provident Label Group, Sony]In the 20th edition of Sunday Refresh (2022), we’re uplifted by Tauren Wells performing, “Hills and Valleys (The Valleys Version).” 

“You’re God of the hills and valleys.” Yes! So true, 🎙 Tauren Wells, so true! The Christian pop/R&B singer delivers a moving, thoughtful record with 🎵 “Hills and Valleys (The Valleys Version)” (💿 Hills and Valleys (Deluxe Edition), 2017).  Against a warm backdrop, including piano and strings, Wells testifies to God’s goodness: “I’ve walked among the shadows / You wiped my tears away /… And I have held your blessings / God, you give and take away.” In good times and bad times, Wells trusts The Most High.

“On the mountains, I will bow my life

To the One who set me there

In the valley, I will lift my eyes

To the One who sees me there

When I’m standing on the mountain

I didn’t get there on my own

When I’m walking through the valley

I know I am not alone!”

Wells vows to praise him any and everywhere.  His relationship is one that no matter what happens, he knows God is on his side. That, my friends, is an awesome message.  Also, shout out the energetic bridge that provides some separation from other sections of this winning Christian record.
