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