Lyrics:
From the valley
From the valley of the shadow we
Bow our heads and bend our knees
Blessed be the least of these
Blessed be

In the desert
In the desert, in the wilderness
The hollow sound of our distress
Echoes in the emptiness
Give us rest

Don’t look away
Keep watch over us
Keep watch over us

Could the mountain
Could the mountain know the valley’s pain?
The ocean hear a cry for rain?
The wild wind feel the weight of chains?

Fill us up for we are dry
Fill us up for we are dry
Thirsty bones breathe brittle sighs
With the stones, oh hear us cry
Hear us cry

Don’t look away
Keep watch over us
Keep watch over us
Don’t look away Don’t close your eyes

Deep is crying out to deep
Deep is crying out to deep
“Has the shepherd left his sheep?
And did the watchman fall asleep?”
