Grace In The Valley

Oh, Lord, I come again

With a heavy heart, I seek Your face

I’m standing here with burdens on my soul

The weight of worldly things has taken its toll

I turned away when the shadows fell so deep

Lost in the silence where the broken-hearted weep

I suffered the loss, a child I couldn't hold

And left my faith out in the bitter cold

I asked You 'Why?' but the heavens seemed so still

Just fighting through the ache against my will

Mwelesa, I lay it at Your feet today

All the hidden hurts that won't go away

I'm finding my rhythm in the pouring rain

Giving You the glory through all of this pain

Yes Lord, I thank You, for everything I see

For You are the light that is guiding me

I couldn't bear to see the life in others' eyes

Watching the mothers under sunny skies

It triggered the sorrow, the ghost of the past

I thought the season of grieving would last

I lived in the prison of "why me" and "how"

But I’m finally learning to bow down now

Mwelesa, I lay it at Your feet today

All the hidden hurts that won't go away

I'm finding my rhythm in the pouring rain

Giving You the glory through all of this pain

Yes Lord, I thank You, for everything I see

For You are the light that is guiding me

Then I looked at the two beautiful souls in my home

You blessed me with light when I felt all alone

Two living reminders of Your mercy and grace

I see Your reflection in each little face

Oh, thank You, Jesus, for opening my sight

You turned my darkness into Your holy light

I release the questions, I surrender the fear

I know that my healing is drawing so near

I won't let the sorrow define who I am

I'm trusting the heart of the great I Am

My life is a vessel, my life is a song

Right here in Your presence is where I belong

Mwelesa, I lay it at Your feet today

All the hidden hurts that won't go away

I'm finding my rhythm in the pouring rain

Giving You the glory through all of this pain

Yes Lord, I thank You, for everything I see

For You are the light that is guiding me

I leave it all in Your hands, amen

I’m choosing to praise You again and again

Glory to the One who carried my grief

Thank You for the peace, thank You for relief

Yes Lord, amen.
