The Valley Song

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.



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.



I will sing of Your mercy

that leads me through valleys of sorrow

to rivers of joy. 2x



Alleluia 4x



While we wait

for our resuce

with our eyes tightly shut,

face to the ground,

using our hands

to cover the fatal cut.

Though the pain is an ocean,

tossing us around around around,

You have calmed greater waters.

Higher mountains have come down.



I will sing of Your mercy

that leads me through valleys of sorrow

to rivers of joy.

yeah



Alleluia 4x



I will sing of Your mercy

that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy. 2x
