Valleys Fill First

This is a valley

That I'm walking through

And it feels like forever

Since I've been close to You

My friends up above me

Don't understand why I struggle like I do

My shadow's my only, only companion

And at night he leaves too



Down in the valley, dying of thirst

I'm down in the valley

It seems that I'm at my worst

My consolation is that You baptized this earth

Well, 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 most clear

So I stay in this valley

If it takes 40 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 baptized this earth

Well, down in the valley, valleys fill first



It's like that long Saturday

Between Your 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 baptized this earth

Well, down in the valley, valleys fill first



When You pour on Your water, valleys fill first
