8 Worship Songs About The Mountains And Valleys (God Of Every Season)

The Christian life is rarely a flat line. It is a topography of high peaks where we see God clearly and low valleys where we struggle to find Him. 1 Kings 20:28 reminds us that “The Lord is God of the hills and God of the valleys.”

Worship songs that address the “mountains and valleys” are essential for spiritual maturity. They teach the church that our circumstances may change, but God’s character does not. Whether we are celebrating a victory or walking through a shadow, these anthems act as a compass, pointing us to the True North of God’s faithfulness.

Why These Songs Build Resilience

We selected these songs because:

  • They cover the spectrum. They acknowledge both the “land of plenty” and the “desert place,” validating everyone’s experience.
  • They focus on immutability. They anchor our fluctuating emotions in the unchanging nature of God.
  • They inspire endurance. They encourage believers to keep singing even when the road gets steep.

8 Songs For Every Season Of Life

  1. King Of My Heart – “Let the King of my heart be the mountain where I run… the valley I fear.” This song explicitly invites God to be Lord over both the high places of refuge and the low places of anxiety. It declares that He is good in both.
  2. Blessed Be Your Name – This is the anthem for the mountains and valleys. It contrasts “streams of abundance” with the “wilderness” and leads the worshiper to the same conclusion in both scenarios: “Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
  3. Been So Good – “In the valley, in the shadow, I know You’re near.” This song is a testimony of God’s track record. It looks back over the highs and lows of life and concludes that through it all, God has been consistently good.
  4. Great Things – “You moved the mountains so I could stand.” Sometimes we need to celebrate the mountains God has removed. This high-energy opener focuses on the power of God to level the playing field and bring victory.
  5. Mighty To Save – “Saviour, He can move the mountains.” This song reminds the church that the obstacles in front of us are movable. It builds faith that the God of the mountain is bigger than the mountain itself.
  6. Same God – The God of Jacob (who wrestled in the dark) is the same God of Moses (who saw glory on the mountain). This song connects us to the history of believers who found God faithful in every possible circumstance.
  7. Firm Foundation (He Won’t) – Valleys often bring storms. This song teaches us that while the “rain and wind” are inevitable, our collapse is not. It shifts our focus from the severity of the weather to the stability of the Rock.
  8. Goodness Of God – “Through the darkest night… You have held me close.” This song traces the thread of God’s kindness through the valleys of darkness and the fire, reminding us that He has never let us go.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Validate the valley. Before singing Blessed Be Your Name, acknowledge that it is okay to be in a “desert place.” Tell your church that worship isn’t about pretending to be happy; it’s about choosing to be faithful.
  • Visualize the mountain. During Mighty To Save, ask people to visualize the specific “mountain” (fear, debt, sickness) they are facing, and sing the lyrics directly to it.
  • Share the history. Same God mentions biblical characters who faced highs and lows. Briefly mention Jacob’s struggle or Mary’s challenge to show that they are in good company.

Next Steps

Is your setlist stuck on the mountaintop? This Sunday, include King Of My Heart to give language to those who are currently walking through the valley of fear, reminding them that God is good even there.
