The Valley Floor

Verse 1

I was walking down a road with nowhere left to go

Carrying a heart full of things nobody knows

I tried to fight the darkness on my own

But every step I took just left me more alone

Then I heard a whisper underneath the midnight sky

Child you don't have to carry this just leave it by My side

So I dropped down to my knees and let the tears fall like rain

And for the first time in a long time I called out Your name

Chorus

When I couldn't stand You held me

When I couldn't see You showed me light

When my heart was broken Lord

You stayed beside me through the night

I thought my story ended

At the bottom of that valley floor

But You reached down from Heaven

And opened up another door

When I couldn't stand

You carried me

Verse 2

I've got scars beneath this denim and miles beneath these boots

I've learned that every broken branch can still grow something new

Mama taught me faith was more than words we say on Sunday

It's trusting God to lead you when you can't see the way

I've lost some people I love and Lord I miss them every day

But I know they're somewhere peaceful where the angels sing Your praise

So I'll keep walking forward with their memory in my heart

Knowing someday we'll meet again where Heaven's roads begin

Chorus

When I couldn't stand You held me

When I couldn't see You showed me light

When my heart was broken Lord

You stayed beside me through the night

I thought my story ended

At the bottom of that valley floor

But You reached down from Heaven

And opened up another door

When I couldn't stand

You carried me

Bridge

So if you're tired lay it down

If you're hurting call His name

You don't have to walk that road

With every burden just the same

There is mercy in the morning

There is healing in His hands

And when your knees give way beneath you

He will help you rise again

Final Chorus

When I couldn't stand You held me

When I couldn't see You showed me light

When my heart was broken Lord

You stayed beside me through the night

I thought my story ended

But You weren't finished with me yet

You turned my tears into a testimony

And my sorrow into strength

When I couldn't stand

You carried me

When I couldn't stand

You carried me

Outro

And I'll walk this road with You

Till You call me home

I was never alone
