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
