I am passing through a valley deep
Through an endless harvest of thorns
I am yearning for the mountain top
For my peaceful orchard grove
It is there that I will ask the Lord to send the rain for me
If he answers No I will save my tears to make the nettles grow
I am passing I am passing there's no place to lay down my head
I am tired, I am slowing but it's only there I'll rest
It's only there I'll rest
I started walkng with another
He was all I ever desired
But he ran ahead to claim his earnings
leaving me forever to mourn
My only friend now is the Lord
and if he leaves me I'll be alone
But if heaven bars its gates from me
I'll still keep walking the valley
I am passing I am passing
There's no place to lay down my head
I am tired I am slowing
but it's only there I'll rest
