C5                      G5
You have led me to the sadness
     A5
i have carried this pain
     C5                      G5
on a back bruised, nearly broken
   A5
i'm crying out to You
  C5
i will sing of Your mercy
     G5                        A5
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
              F5
to rivers of joy


    C5               G5
when death, like a gypsy
   A5
comes to steal what i love
    C5                          G5
i will still     look to the heavens
    A5
i will still seek your face
    C5                     G5
but i fear You aren't listening
    A5
because there are no words
    C5
just the stillness
    G5
and the hunger
   A5
for a faith that assures


  C5
i will sing of Your mercy
     G5                         A5
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
              F5
to rivers of joy
    C5
i will sing of Your mercy
     G5                         A5
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
             F5
to rivers of joy


C5    G5  C5    G5
alleluia, alleluia

alleluia, alleluia


    C5                 G5
while we wait for rescue
    A5
with our eyes tightly shut
     C5                      G5
face to the ground using our hands
    A5
to cover the fatal cut
       C5               G5
though the pain is an ocean
      A5
tossing us around, around, around
      C5                   G5
You have calmed greater waters
       A5
higher mountains have come down


        C5
i will sing of Your mercy
     G5                             A5
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
             F5
to rivers of joy
C5    G5  C5    G5
alleluia, alleluia

alleluia, alleluia
        C5
i will sing of Your mercy
     G5                            A5
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
              F5
to rivers of joy
