[Intro | Gentle Acoustic Guitar] [Verse 1 | Raw | Trembling Vocals] The shadows press on my weary chest, My weeping eyes cannot find their rest. I call Your name in the bitter cold, The deepest sorrow my heart can hold. You feel so distant, the sky is gray, I need Your presence to light the way. [Pre-Chorus | Gentle Acoustic Build] Though I cannot trace Your guiding hand, Upon Your solid rock I will stand. [Chorus | Emotional Swell | Wide Harmonies] Even in the valley of the shadow, Your rod and staff are my only guide. When the raging floods begin to swallow, In Your unfailing love I will hide. You never leave me to fight alone, Your faithfulness is forever known. [Verse 2 | Vulnerable | Close Mic] The mourning lingers throughout the night, I wait in hope for the morning light. My strength is gone and my bones are weak, Your promises are the words I seek. You collect every tear that I cry, You are the Savior who draws me nigh. [Pre-Chorus | Rising Conviction] Though I cannot trace Your guiding hand, Upon Your solid rock I will stand. [Chorus | Anthemic | Triumphant] Even in the valley of the shadow, Your rod and staff are my only guide. When the raging floods begin to swallow, In Your unfailing love I will hide. You never leave me to fight alone, Your faithfulness is forever known. [Instrumental Break | Cello and Piano Reflection | Deep Resonance] [Bridge | Powerful Delivery | Soaring Vocals] Your mercies are new with every dawn, Your sovereign hand gently leads me on. The darkness cannot overcome the light, You are my shield in the fiercest fight. Your mercies are new with every dawn, Your sovereign hand gently leads me on. The darkness cannot overcome the light, You are my shield in the fiercest fight. [Chorus | Peak Emotion | Full Band Anthem] Even in the valley of the shadow, Your rod and staff are my only guide. When the raging floods begin to swallow, In Your unfailing love I will hide. You never leave me to fight alone, Your faithfulness is forever known. [Outro | Lingering | Bare Piano] The shadows fade in Your holy grace, I find my peace in Your secret place. You are right here. Amen.
