Valley Of Pain

(album: Rise And Shine - 2002)

Don't let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way
I'm leaning on you like a wooden cane
While I'm walking through
I'm walking through
The valley of pain

I'm believing there's a reason for this trial
This too shall pass in a little while
Oh Lord have mercy if I complain
While I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain
While I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain

Won't you bathe me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth and courage in my ears

When I'm hurting I have a dangerous tongue
I'll lose it and use it like a gun
Lord stop me if you see my taking aim
Whike I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain
I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain
I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain

Bathe me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth and courage in my ears
Remind me when I reach the other side
I'll be thankful for every tear I cried

Don't let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way
Don't let the darkness drive me insane
While I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain
I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
A valley of pain
I'm walking through,
I'm walking through
This valley of pain
