Jars Of Clay:

The Valley Song (Sing of Your Mercy)

You have lead me to the sadness

I have carried this pain

All my back bruised and 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 is yours



I will sing of Your mercy

That leads me through valleys of sorrow

To rivers of joy



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



Though the pain is an ocean

Tossing us around, around, around

You have calmed greater waters

Higher mountains have come down
