Don Besig and Nancy Price have woven the traditional songs “Lonesome Valley ” and “Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen ” with adapted and new words into an ethereal Lent and Holy Week meditation. The useof optional flute (part provided in the octavo) enhances the airy quality of the piece. There's also an opportunity for an optional solo and a cappella portions. First telling of Jesus and his pending fate in the lonesome valley the message moves on to remind us that “nobody knows the trouble and pain like Jesus.” Finally we all have our “lonesome valleys” to walk but He will not let us walk alone. This easy-to-learn anthem willprove to be very effective.
