The Valley Song

C                      G/B
You have led me to the sadness
     Am7
i have carried this pain
     C                      G/B
on a back bruised, nearly broken
   Am7
i'm crying out to You
  C
i will sing of Your mercy
     G/B                        Am7
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
              F
to rivers of joy

    C               G/B
when death, like a gypsy
   Am7
comes to steal what i love
    C                          G/B
i will still     look to the heavens
    Am7
i will still seek your face
    C                     G/B
but i fear You aren't listening
    Am7
because there are no words
    C
just the stillness
    G/B
and the hunger
   Am7
for a faith that assures

  C
i will sing of Your mercy
     G/B                         Am7
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
              F
to rivers of joy
    C
i will sing of Your mercy
     G/B                         Am7
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
             F
to rivers of joy

alleluia, alleluia

    C                 G/B
while we wait for rescue
    Am7
with our eyes tightly shut
     C                      G/B
face to the ground using our hands
    Am7
to cover the fatal cut
       C               G/B
though the pain is an ocean
      Am7
tossing us around, around, around
      C                   G/B
You have calmed greater waters
       Am7
higher mountains have come down

        C
i will sing of Your mercy
     G/B                             Am7
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
             F
to rivers of joy
