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
