Lyrics

Valley of Pain

Ah... don't let me grow bitter I pray

Give me strength to carry on my way

I'm leanin on you like a wooden cane

Well, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

I'm believin there's a reason for this trial'

This too shall pass in a little while

Woh, Lord have mercy if I complain

I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Paint me in a river of my tears

Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears

Well, when I'm hurtin I have a dangerous tongue

I lose it and use it like a gun

Oh won't you stop me if you see me takin aim

I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Paint me in a river of my tears

Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears

Remind me when I reach the other side

I'll b thankful for every tear that I cries

Don't let the darkness drive me insane

I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
