I don't want to face this valley
I don't want to walk alone
You say that you'll leave to find me
Well I am begging you now to come
Don't think I can face the morning
The heaviness is on my chest
You say that you'll lift this burden
Well I am begging you to bring me rest
So come and find me
In the darkest night of my soul
In the shadow of the valley
I am dying for you to make me whole
For you to make me whole
I can't keep myself from sinkin'
From drowning down in all this shame
My throat is worn out from calling for help
And I am praying you'll remember my name
I know I can't fight this battle
Been surrounded on every side
You say that you will deliver me
Well I am praying that you'll restore my life
So come and find me
In the darkest night of my soul
In the shadow of the valley
I am dying for you to make me whole
For you to make me whole
Answer me out of the goodness of your love
In your mercy turn to me
I know it's you that I've been running from
But I'm seeing it's you I need, need
You're all I need
