Don'y 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 my takin' aim Whike 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 I cried Don'y 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, 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 This valley of pain
