In the realm of contemporary Christian music, Randy Travis stands as a pivotal figure whose contributions have significantly shaped the genre. His live performance of “Peace In The Valley” at the Calvary Assembly of God in Orlando, Florida, in 2003 serves as a compelling case study for examining the intersection of faith and artistry within his oeuvre.

PEACE IN THE VALLEY Lyrics
Oh well, I’m tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning’s so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
[Verse 2]
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I’ll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
