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