From This Valley

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 'Til 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 'Til 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 beneath 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 'Til I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love I will pray, pray, pray 'Til I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love
