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 
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 

Down 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 

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 

Though 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
