Song lyrics
Lyrics
In the darkest valley there's no time to waste, every step reminds me death has touched this place. Rubble underneath me, bones beneath the dust, fear keeps asking questions, faith keeps saying trust. I can barely see the road, night keeps closing in, but truth was never darkness, truth has always been. If Your Word is still a lamp, then lead these weary feet, because the darkest valley is where You meet Your sheep.
When my eyes can't find tomorrow,
Be the Light that carries me.
When my strength begins to fail,
Your presence is enough for me.
Let Your Light shine through me.
Burn away the fear.
Even in this valley,
I know that You are here.
Cover me beneath Your wings.
Hide me in Your grace.
If this road still leads through shadows,
You're already in this place.
Every stone beneath my feet has a story I could tell, every scar reminds me You have loved me through this hell. The valley doesn't scare You, You have always walked ahead. You are still the God of living, standing where I feared the dead. When my heart forgets Your promise, when my soul begins to shake, hold me with Your strong right hand, for Your great and holy Name.
Cover me with Your pinions.
Shelter me beneath Your wings.
Teach this wounded heart
The peace Your presence brings.
If I lose the path,
Don't let me lose Your face.
Because mercy has no trouble
Finding me in this place.
I will fear no evil!
Let Your Light shine through me.
Brighter than the night.
Lead me through this valley
Until I see Your light.
Cover me beneath Your wings.
Keep me by Your grace.
In the darkest valley,
That's where You meet Your sheep.
The valley is dark,
But You are not.
The valley is deep,
But so is Your love.

From the album
The War Came Home
A soldier names the wound and moral injury without allowing either to erase the human being still present beneath the startle. The final songs turn toward endurance and God.
