Valley of Pain Songtext
von Randy Travis

Don′t let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way
I'm leanin′ on you like a wooden cane
While I'm walkin' through
I′m walkin′ through the valley of pain

I'm believin′ 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 tongue
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

--- Instrumental ---

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 become 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
While I'm walkin′ through,
I′m walkin' through a valley of pain...
