Hark Valley

By Sophia Campbell

In our darkest times, when we are facing difficult trials and impossible hardships, poetry can uplift, encourage and strengthen us in Christ.

I Write for You presents a poetic depiction of author Sophia Campbell’s spiritual journey during one of her greatest health challenges. Inspired by conversations with God and deep meditations, she searches for answers, guidance, and strength. In the midst of our pain, Christ, through his brokenness and death, won the great battle; therefore we are able to rejoice amid our troubles. Our journey is tiny in comparison to the great victory won for us.

Then I see you again, on the cross this time,
bloodied, with a sorrowful crown on your head,
a sword pierced in your side.

It is then that I’m reminded of your victory for me.
A surge of hope and victory rushes through my veins.
They captivate me; I am drenched with your love.
I rejoice; laughter gushes fourth like mighty waves on my lips.
Oh yes, sweet victory you won already on the cross.
—from “My Visit with You”

Your Amazing Love

Many times I see

just how amazing your love is

for no matter how many times I fall, I stumble,

you are there, waiting to pick me up.

It is too much for me to fathom,

too great for me to comprehend;

my mind cannot contain this love,

yet you are there, waiting for me to visit with you.

Oh, my Lord, do
