Wind from the Valley - Advent

What is this pain

What is this suffering

Pain and suffering

A void, a darkness begins to take ahold of this soul

Deep in my chest

It knows me, but it’s not the pain

It’s not the suffering that scares me the most

It’s just the cold

The emptiness, when there’s nothing left

The days of solitude, they have beaten me down

Over and over, I have come to the end

I’m just waiting for a word from You

This brokenness I feel in this

It’s just too much to bear

Tearing away the lost and forgotten dreams

That I once held

I’ve laid them all but down

To quit, the easy road, something I’ll never know

The weight is too much

This mountains too high

The dark’s closing in

But the fire inside is alive

Eternally the fire burns

A voice in the valley

Will you trust in me

When the world around you is dying

Inside, the Spirit speaks

Setting fire to my weakness

The cold it burns away

A man, made new in his suffering

Pain — Suffering

I can’t see through this fog

I don’t understand

Is this the end

Am I all alone

Pain — Suffering

Forged in flames

Pain and suffering

Refined by pain

Forged in suffering

As wind blows from the valley

The fire inside still remains

The fire burns

Forged in suffering

As wind blows through the valley

The fire inside still remains
