The following lyrics speak to my heart again and again when I feel the depths of sorrow pour over me. I will sing of his mercy as I trust it will lead me to rivers of joy!
The Valley Song
by Jars of Clay
You have led me, to the sadness, I have carried this pain.
On my 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.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia…
While we wait, for a 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, and higher mountains have come down.
I will sing of Your Mercy, that leads me through valleys of sorrow, to rivers of joy…
