Valleys

He made the valleys leap

To meet my weary feet

And made the wild hills flat

On which I lay and weep

Made the mountains bow and scrape

Created a heavenly landscape

Brought the heavens down to earth

Shot stars into my path

Lit up the unnatural dark

 

Light your light shine on my darkest days

Speak to these dead bones

Let me live again

Heaven has a rescue plan

If they interfere with it

 

Taught me to love

Released a holy dove

Into my wretched life

Taught me how to be kind

 

Decreed heaven should be fair

Warmed the cold night air

Brought music to the earth

Heavenly stains on the dirt

 

Disappear every fear

Dry up every tear

Please let me near

 

I chose the heavens

She chose the earth

I chose the stars

She chose the dirt

Now I wonder

Is this all they will let me be worth

 

And though

He won’t turn back time

In the end

I think I’ll find

What’s mine is mine

And what is his is divine

 

And I am possessing my possession

Don’t force me

To go around the mountain again

Your traps and your webs and your lies

My reticular guy
