Couplet 1

In shadow’s wake
In blackened depths
You hold the rod
That guides my steps
When I’m tossed among the wind
Your promise never dims
Though the seasons pass away
Your goodness never fades

Accords en boucle

So I choose

Refrain

To build an altar in the valley
With every stone know You are with me
Until I see You face to face
And every tear is wiped away
I’ll make the choice to say
I love You through this pain
I'll build an altar in the valley

Couplet 2

When questions reign
And doubt surrounds
You hold the staff
That lights my path
When the horizon veils its face
Your nature doesn’t change
When the present clouds the end
You are worthy even then

Refrain

To build an altar in the valley
With every stone know You are with me
Until I see You face to face
And every tear is wiped away
I’ll make the choice to say
I love You through this pain
I'll build an altar in the valley

Accords de retour

I'll build an altar in the valley

Pont

Step by step
Lord I will follow
You’re here today
You’ll still be tomorrow
When I don’t have the faith to trust You
Still I choose to
Stone by stone
This is my offering
All my heart
Sifted through suffering
When I don’t have the strength to praise You
Still I choose to

Refrain modifié

When I don’t have the faith
To trust You
Still I choose to
When I don’t have the strength
To praise You
Still I choose to

Refrain

To build an altar in the valley
With every stone know You are with me
Until I see You face to face
And every tear is wiped away
I’ll make the choice to say
I love You through this pain
I'll build an altar in the valley

Accords de retour
