Down In The Valley (Rock Version)

Ain't nobody prayin' when the sun still shines
When the world feels good and the pains behind
But pride builds towers made of straw and bone
And every king will crawl back home
I chased desire till it burned me down
Learned what grace costs when the lights go out
And when the noise finally disappeared
All I heard was the sound of fear
Down in the valley He found me there
Broken bones a sinners prayer
No river to wash just mercy's rain
And I rose from the mud still bearing His name
I cursed His name in the midnight smoke
Asked where He was when my faith broke
He said Son I never walked away
You ran till your soul gave way
Down in the valley He found me there
Broken bones a sinners prayer
No river to wash just mercy's rain
And I rose from the mud never the same
Let the proud keep chasing crowns
I'll stay buried where grace was found
If pains the price to be made new
Then burn me down Lord see me through
Down in the valley He found me there
Broken bones a sinners prayer
No river to wash just mercy's rain
And I rose from the mud still bearing His name
Ashes and dust that's where I'll stay
Where the dead men kneel and learn to pray
