Valleys Fill First Lyrics - Caedmons Call

This is the valley that I'm walking through 

And if feels like forever since I've been close to You 

My friends up above me don't understand why I struggle like I do 

The shadow's my only, only companion and at night he leaves too 

Down in the valley, dying of thirst 

Now down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst 

My consolation is that You baptize this Earth 

I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first 

Down in this wasteland, I miss the mountaintop view 

But it's here in this valley that I'm surrounded by You 

Though I'm not here by my will, it's where Your view is the most clear 

So I'll stay in this valley if it takes forty years 

Down in the valley, dying of thirst 

When I'm down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst 

My consolation is that You baptize this Earth 

I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first 

It's like that long Saturday between death and the rising day 

When no one wrote a word, wondered, is this the end 

But You were down there in the well, saving those that fell 

Bringing them to the mountain again 

Though I'm down in the valley, dying of thirst 

When I'm down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst 

My consolation is that You baptize this Earth 

I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first 

When You pour on Your water, valleys fill first
