The Valley Song (sing Of Your Mercy) Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

The Valley Song (Sing of Your Mercy) 

You have led me to the sadness 

I have carried this pain 

on a 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 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 

I will sing of Your mercy 

that leads me through valleys of sorrow 

to rivers of joy 

I will sing of Your mercy 

that leads me through valleys of sorrow 

to rivers of joy 

alleluia, alleluia 

alleluia, alleluia
