Mortification - From The Valley Of Shadows lyrics

[Words and Music by Michael Carlisle] [Originally recorded for Post Momentary Affliction] "What is truth?", I ask myself All religions boast absolute truth But temptation is all that I find As flesh craves overshadows the emptiness On through the valley of blindness I roam As voices whisper in the wind around Calling me into the darkness beyond Like the sound of sirens in the distance From the valley of the shadows Into the darkness beyond Feel the calling of pleasures Overshadow man's emptiness My guiltiness bleeds internally Inside tunnels of blocked emotions The silent screams within my inner being Bursting forth in desperation Disillusionment fades As I change my course Rejection of pride through repentance The answer revealed - messeanic deity The judge paid the sinners debt From the valley of the shadows Into the light of Crist I follow the calling if righteousness As shadows cringe from the brightness Peace engulfs me As I surrender my life The entwinning of guilt is lifted away Shadows are scattered by The Lamb of God Delivered from the Abuse of substances [John 3:16, 18:37,38; Romans 8:23; John 3:20-21]
