Valleys Fill First Lyrics

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

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
