Valley of Thorns

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Intro]
distorted 808 bass, rapid hi-hats, dark synth loop

[Verse 1]
aggressive male rap vocals

Listen up—the Kingdom’s calling now.
Grace reached me when I was falling down.
I left the darkness, I won’t turn around.
The truth set me free, now I’m standing my ground.

Throw it away—all the pride and sin.
Make room for the Spirit to dwell within.
Every single night I stay seeking His face.
His mercy keeps lifting me higher by grace.

Fight for salvation. Walk in salvation.
I’m living proof of His great salvation.
Like one who crossed through a valley of thorns,
He carried me safely until the new morn.

Cry out His name—there is power in Jesus.
This is the moment He wants to redeem us.
No chain is stronger than what He can break.
No heart too hardened for mercy to wake.

[Cymbal Crash]

I’m storing up treasures that never will fade.
Everything promised, my Savior has made.
Lift up your hands, let heaven hear it happen.
Today is the day of salvation.
