Well, [C]blue skies and hillsides feel so far away
And I [Em]wrote in my notebook that I've seen better days
Than the [Dm]ones as of late, I [F]can't bear the [Fm]weight
The [C]rain won't stop pouring out my window pane
And I [Em]haven't left my bedroom in 76 days
I wish [Dm]something would change 'Cause [F]I'm losing [Fm]faith
So I [C]brought it up in a desperate prayer [Em]Lord, why are you keeping me here?
[Dm]Then He said to me, "Child, [F]I'm planting [Fm]seeds
[C]I'm a good God and I have a good plan so [Em]trust that I'm holding a watering can
[Dm]And someday you'll see that [F]flowers [Fm]grow in the [C]valley"
So what[C]ever the reason, I'm barely getting by
I'll [Em]trust it's a season knowing that you're by my side
Every [Dm]step of the way And [F]I'll be o[Fm]kay
'Cause I [C]brought it up in a desperate prayer [Em]Lord, why are you keeping me here?
[Dm]Then He said to me, "Child, [F]I'm planting [Fm]seeds
[C]I'm a good God and I have a good plan so [Em]trust that I'm holding a watering can
[Dm]And someday you'll see that [F]flowers [Fm]grow in the [C]valley" [Em]Mm, [F]mm [Fm]
When [C]I'm on the mountain and looking down below
I'll see a [Em]valley of flowers that needed time to grow
And I'll [Dm]thank you for the rain the [F]hurt and days of [Fm]pain
And I'll [C]bring it up in a grateful prayer [Em]Thank you, Jesus, for keeping me there
You [Dm]know just what I need, and [F]you've planted [Fm]seeds
'Cause [C]you're a good God with a real good plan and you [Em]hold my world and a watering can
[Dm]So I can have peace 'cause [F]flowers [Fm]grow in the val[C]ley
