Down Where the Valleys Are Low
[Verse]
Down where the valleys are low
There's a refuge so high
And down where the coldest winds blow
There the warmest winds hide
And deep in the forest of woe
Sweet deliverance is nigh
And deep in the heart there's a rose
That a glimmer keeps guidin'
[Pre-Chorus]
'Til the heavens' song begins the holy files a-burnin'
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'
[Chorus 1]
Push me on from the danger that's pullin' me
And holds me so strong
Send a song on the wind to deliver me
Take me and rise when the fire is on
Take the reins and the loneliness fillin' me
And make my fear fuel and the fuel hi-octane
[Verse]
Down where the valleys are low
There's a refuge so high
And down where the coldest winds blow
There the warmest winds hide
And deep in the forest of woe
Sweet deliverance is nigh
And deep in the heart there's a rose
That a glimmer keeps guidin'
[Pre-Chorus]
'Til the heavens' song begins the holy files a-burnin'
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'
[Chorus 2]
Lead the way through the glories deceivin' me
And reverie's sway
Through the day when the hereafter's holdin' me
Lend me a hand and I won't delay
Send a ray through the seven veiled mysteries
And break their sweet spell and their links of chain
