Valley Walk

Lyrics

[Intro][Energy: Low]
(organ alone, slow and searching)
(stomp stomp — clap)
(stomp stomp — clap)

🎙️ Yeah
This ain't a fairy tale
This is faith in a fight
(choir: mmm-hmm)

[Verse 1 ☕][Energy: Low]
Shepherd in the field
Sling in my hand
Still smell the sheep
Dirt in my sandals
Oil on my head but I'm dodging spears
(choir: say it)
Blessed and hunted at the same time

Anointed in a tent
Then I'm running for my life
Writing pretty songs while I'm hiding in a cave
Table in the presence of the ones who wanna kill me
(choir: glory)
Peace in the panic
That's the promise that You gave

[Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build]
(organ rises, handclaps enter)
Not some stained-glass story
Not some easy faith
(choir: no it ain't)
This is blood and oil
This is grace in the fire

[Chorus 🔥][Energy: High]
(stomp stomp clap — stomp stomp clap)
The Lord is my shepherd
Even when I'm shaking
(choir: even when you're shaking)
Goodness and mercy
Chasing me through the aching

This is my valley walk
Not some perfect painting
I won't fear the dark
(choir: won't fear it)
'Cause Your love keeps staying

The Lord is my shepherd
Right here where it hurts
I still say You're faithful
Even when it doesn't work
(choir: even then — even then)

[Verse 2 ☕][Energy: Low]
King in a palace with a broken house
Crown on my head
Blood on my hands
Rod and Your staff still pulling me back
From the mess I made of Your plan
(choir: mmm)

You restore my soul
Not my reputation
(choir: not your reputation)
You prepare that table while my name's in the dirt
You don't promise me a life with no losses
You promise You're with me
In the worst of it all
(choir: in the worst of it all)

[Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build]
(handclaps tighten, organ swells)
Not some stained-glass story
Not some easy faith
(choir: no it ain't)
This is blood and oil
This is grace in the fire

[Chorus 🔥][Energy: High]
(stomp stomp clap — stomp stomp clap)
The Lord is my shepherd
Even when I'm shaking
(choir: even when you're shaking)
Goodness and mercy
Chasing me through the aching

This is my valley walk
Not some perfect painting
I won't fear the dark
(choir: won't fear it)
'Cause Your love keeps staying

The Lord is my shepherd
Right here where it hurts
I still say You're faithful
Even when it doesn't work
(choir: even then — even then)

[Bridge 😭][Energy: Low]
(organ drops to single notes, everything else out)
🎙️ David had a calling and a cave
He had a crown and a consequence
He had enemies at the table
(choir: mmm-hmm)
He had tears on the throne
But through every season
(choir: every season)
He said —

[Bridge 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(organ HITS, stomps erupt)
You are with me
(choir: You are with me)
You are with me
(choir: You are with me)
Not just on the mountain —
(choir: HEY!)
Right here in the madness

[Lead][Energy: High]
I don't praise You 'cause it's easy
(choir: mmm)
I praise You 'cause You're staying

[Choir Response][Energy: Explosive]
I don't trust You for a fair life
(lead: no)
I trust You for a faithful God
(lead: yes I do)

[Final Chorus 🔥🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(full gospel band locked in, choir full)
The Lord is my shepherd
Even when I'm shaking
(choir: even when you're shaking)
Goodness and mercy
Chasing me through the aching

This is my valley walk
Not some perfect painting
I won't fear the dark
(choir: won't fear it)
'Cause Your love keeps staying

The Lord is my shepherd
Right here where it hurts
I still say You're faithful
Even when it doesn't work
(choir: even then)
Even when it doesn't work
(choir: even then)
Even when it doesn't work —
(choir: He's still faithful)

[Outro][Energy: Low][Fade Out]
(organ alone returns, stomps slow)
(stomp — clap)
(stomp — clap)
Even when it doesn't work
You're still my shepherd
(choir: still my shepherd)
Yeah
