the valley song

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



the continual gruelling process of learning what it means to trust, trust, trust. it makes me so happy just to know that the Lord is on my side and am so very thankful for the friends i've found in bethany that are so precious to me. everyday when something new crops up im just being taught bigger lessons each day. lessons of faith, of learning to love, of SELF-CONTROL, of perseverance, strength and my most recent theme verse from psalm39:7 "and now, Lord, what do i wait for? my hope is IN YOU."

just thankful. (:
