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
