Valleys Fill First

This is the valley that I'm walking through
 And if feels like forever since I've been close to You
 My friends up above me don't understand why I struggle like I do
 The shadow's my only, only companion and at night he leaves too
 Down in the valley, dying of thirst
 Now down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst
 My consolation is that You baptize this Earth
 I'm 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 the most clear
 So I'll stay in this valley if it takes forty 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 baptize this Earth
 I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first
 It's like that long Saturday between 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 baptize this Earth
 I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first
 When You pour on Your water, valleys fill first
