The Valley Song (Sing of Your Mercy) Written by Jars of Clay 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 Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia 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
