Valleys Fill First Lyrics & Chords By Caedmon's Call

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
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

Out 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

And 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

Oh, 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
