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 painI'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 painWon't you bathe me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth and courage in my earsWhen 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 painBathe 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 criedDon'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
