mikao's world

the valley song
(sing of Your mercy)
-written by Aaron Sands, Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Stephen Mason, and Matt Odmark

"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
Jus the stillness and the hunger
For a faith that assures

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

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"
- performed by Jars of Clay

i've been getting a lot of hits lately looking for the lyrics for this song, so I thought I'd post the full lyrics, they don't seem to be out there on the web yet. I hate it when you're looking for lyrics and can't find them. I love the line, "because there are no words," as well as the chorus. great song.
