I believe there is a special healing power in music. Often I hear a song that fills my heart with a deep understanding, a deep joy. I just heard "The Valley Song" by Jars of clay. WOW. I found a link on you tube, but I really don't like the graphics, I think it takes away from the song. If you know of a link for just the song, please let me know.
Here are the lyrics:
The Valley Song (Sing of Your Mercy)You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
on a back bruised, nearly broken
I'm crying out to You
I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
to rivers of joy
when death, like a gypsy
comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek your face
but I fear You aren't listening
because there are no words
just the stillness
and the hunger
for a faith that assures
I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
to rivers of joy
alleluia, alleluia
alleluia, alleluia
while we wait for rescue
with our eyes tightly shut
face to the ground using our hands
to cover the fatal cut
though the pain is an ocean
tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
higher mountains have come down
I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
to rivers of joy
I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow
to rivers of joy
alleluia, alleluia
alleluia, alleluia
