From This Valley lyrics

Oh, the desert dreams of a river

that will run down to the sea

like my heart longs for an ocean

to wash down over me.

Oh, won't you take me from this valley

to that mountain high above?

I will pray, pray, pray

until I see your smiling face.

I will pray, pray, pray

to the one I love.

Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance,

just to find pure love's embrace

like an orphan longs for his mother.

May you hold me in your grace.

Won't you take me from this valley

to that mountain high above?

I will pray, pray, pray

until I see your smiling face.

I will pray, pray, pray

to the one I love.

Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind

that will flow 'neath her wings.

Like a voice longs for a melody,

oh, Jesus carry me.

Won't you take me from this valley

to that mountain high above?

I will pray, pray, pray

until I see your smiling face.

I will pray, pray, pray

to the one I love.

I will pray, pray, pray

until I see your smiling face.

I will pray, pray, pray

to the one I love.
