The Valley Song

The Valley Song

by Jars of Clay

~

You have led me to the sadness

I have carried this pain

On a back bruised, nearly broken

I'm crying out to you

~

Chorus

I will sing of Your mercy

That leads me through valleys of sorrow

To rivers of joy

When death like a Gypsy

Comes to steal what I love

I will still look to the heavens

I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening

Because there are no words

Just the stillness and the hunger

For a faith that assures

~

Chorus x2

~

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia

~

While we wait for rescue

With our eyes tightly shut

Face to the ground using our hands

To cover the fatal cut

And though the pain is an ocean

Tossing us around, around, around

You have calmed greater waters

Higher mountains have come down

~

Chorus

Yeah

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia alleluia, alleluia

~

Chorus (4 Xs)
