Valley Walkin’ Through

[Intro]

[Spoken

Low]

Mmm

I been down in that valley

But I ain’t stay there

[Verse 1]

Stones in my shoes

Dust in my teeth

Bills on the table

Fear underneath

Doctor shook his head

Said

“Son

You on your own”

I said

“You don’t know my Helper

He been good when I was gone”

[Chorus]

I’m just valley walkin’ through

I ain’t pitchin’ no tent with this trouble I’m in

I’m just valley walkin’ through

Got a cloud on my head

But His fire in my chest

I’m just valley walkin’ through (yeah)

I’m just valley walkin’ through

[Verse 2]

You call

I answer

You shout

I sing

Chain-link memories

But my soul still swings

Storm tried to drown me

River in my lungs

Then His name hit my mouth

Like a bell on my tongue (ring!)

[Chorus]

I’m just valley walkin’ through

I ain’t pitchin’ no tent with this trouble I’m in

I’m just valley walkin’ through

Got a cloud on my head

But His fire in my chest

I’m just valley walkin’ through (oh, I’m passin’ on)

I’m just valley walkin’ through

[Bridge]

Call: When my knees give way?

Resp: I go down prayin’

Call: When the night won’t break?

Resp: I keep on sayin’

Call: “You been with me

Lord

From the day I began”

Resp: If You brought me to the valley

You gon’ walk me out again (hey!)

[Chorus]

I’m just valley walkin’ through

I ain’t pitchin’ no tent with this trouble I’m in

I’m just valley walkin’ through

Got a cloud on my head

But His fire in my chest

I’m just valley walkin’ through (one more time)

I’m just valley walkin’ through

[Outro]

[Spoken over slide fade]

Stones in my shoes

Joy in my jaw

I may limp out this valley

But I’ll be singin’ when I crawl
