[verse 1]
I have felt the deepest loss
I have questioned if you're good
And when he led me to the cross
Only then i understood
That even in the ruthless pain
There's a river running through
And every bend along the way
Brought me closer into you
[chorus]
I will build an altar here so i don't forget
The place where all my doubts and tears met your faithfulness
Where i lifted my eyes, lifted my hands to the only one who could turn it
From a valley of death into a valley of worship
[verse 2]
In the midst of mystery
There's a presence that i find
You're the one who stayed with me
You're the answer to my why
So with the offering of my life
[chorus]
I will build an altar here so i don't forget
The place where all my doubts and tears met your faithfulness
Where i lifted my eyes, i lifted my hands to the only one who could turn it
From a valley of death into a valley of worship
[post-chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, into a valley of
[bridge]
Peace for my heaviness, joy for my brokenness
Breaking the soil of my soul
Strength for my weariness, life for my emptiness
Gardens where nothing should grow
So i'll sing in the wilderness, praise when it don't make sense
Where else would i ever go?
Oh, where else would i ever go?
[chorus]
And i will build an altar here so i don't forget
The place where all my doubts and tears met your faithfulness
Where i lifted my eyes, i lifted my hands, oh, to the only one who could turn it
From a valley of death into a valley of worship
[outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, into a valley of worship
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, into a valley of worship
