DON?T LET ME GROW BITTER I PRAY
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO CARRY ON MY WAY
IM LEANIN? ON YOU LIKE A WOODEN CANE
WHILE I?M WALKIN THROUGH I?M WALKIN? THROUGH
THE VALLEY OF PAIN

I?M BELIEVN? THERE?S A REASON FOR THIS TRIAL
THIS TOO SHALL PASS IN A LITTLE WHILE
OH LORD HAVE MERCY IF I COMPLAIN
WHILE I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN
WHILE I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN

WON?T YOU BATHE ME IN A RIVER OF MY TEARS
WHISPER HOPE AND TRUTH AND COURAGE IN MY EARS

WHEN I?M HURTING I HAVE A DANGEROUS TOUNGE
I?LL LOSE IT AND USE IT LIKE A GUN
LORD STOP ME IF YOU SEE ME TAKIN? AIM
WHILE I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN
I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN
I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN

BATHE ME IN A RIVER OF MY TEARS
WHISPER HOPE AND TRUTH AND COURAGE IN MY EARS
REMIND ME WHEN I REACH THE OTHER SIDE
I?LL BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY TEAR THAT I CRIED

DON?T LET ME GROW BITTER I PRAY
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO CARRY ON MY WAY
DON?T LET THE DARKNESS DRIVE ME INSANE
WHILE I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN
I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN? THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN
I?M WALKIN? THROUGH, I?M WALKIN? THROUGH
THIS VALLEY OF PAIN
