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.
Throughout, Wells compels with his light, beautiful tenor. “Hills and Valleys” is stunning melodically, particularly the chorus. Here, Tauren asserts:
“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.
