In the valley of the shadow of fear
I look up above me to the top of the hill
Only my racing heart, I hear
I stand in the valley of the shadow of burden
On my shoulders, the weight of the world
In the valley I scream at the top of my lungs
Waiting for answers from the Lord
I stand in the valley of the shadow of night
The moon blackened by my anger
Not a star in the sky, no hope for the sun
My soul ever so bitter
I stand in the valley, looking for light
There must be hope somewhere
I close my eyes so firm and tight
Finally, a voice I hear
“Don’t cry my child, I have seen your tears”
The little voice said to me
Look up to the top of that hill, my dear
Redemption you will see
I stood in the valley but only for a time
Until I started to climb
I tumbled over rocks and slipped a few times
Finally redemption was mine
I accepted the gift, this man offered me
He hung on the cross and took his last breath
The last drop of blood fell on me
To deliver me from the valley of the shadow of death
