Why Did I Walk Through The Valley?

Why did I walk through the valley?
Why was I forced to my knees?
Why did the sun parch and dry me?
When I walked through the desert of defeat
Then came the clouds and the rain fell
I thought Id never make it through the night
God gave me the answer when I prayed in tears
He let me see the dark, before the light

CHORUS
I can kneel with a brother
Who is bearing the burden
And I say I know just what youre going through
I can pray with a sister, in the midst of her sorrow
And I say I know because I've been there too
I can put my arms around someone who is down
Tell them to have faith and confidence
What in pain I could not see I now fully believe
God prepared me for such a time, as this

You may be praying for rescue
You are facing temptations and trials
Struggles are endlessly present
But the purpose is somewhere in Gods time
Gods time
Just keep on walking the good road
The night leads to a stronger wiser day
And when you ask the reason for the path you have trod
Youll know without a doubt and you can say

CHORUS
I can kneel with a brother
Who is bearing the burden
And I say I know just what youre going through
I can pray with a sister, in the midst of her sorrow
And I say I know because I've been there too
I can put my arms around someone who is down
Tell them to have faith and confidence
What in pain I could not see I now fully believe
God prepared me for such a time, as this
