[Verse 1]
Adam's shadow, it was casting
How it covered all the land
Out from Eden it descended
Now to land on our guilty hands
[Verse 2]
The laws of Moses they were [?]
In the face of sinful man
The sacrifices they would offer
Could never meet its great demands
[Chorus]
And that valley may be dark (maybe dark)
Over all the earth extended
But the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter)
And his path cannot be bended
Yes it hits (yes it hits)
The sinners heart (the sinners heart)
Turns their sorrow into laughter
And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance)
Up the mount of the redeemed
[Verse 3]
Prophets came and prophets went
And their message was the same
A Messiah would soon be coming
For the wandering souls to save
[Chorus]
And that valley may be dark (maybe dark)
Over all the earth extended
But the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter)
And his path cannot be bended
Yes it hits (yes it hits)
The sinners heart (the sinners heart)
Turns their sorrow into laughter
And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance)
Up the mount of the redeemed
[Verse 4]
One last prophet came from the deserts
To announce the Son of God
John would baptize with streams of Jordan
Christ would baptize with streams of Life
[Chorus]
And that valley may be dark (maybe dark)
Over all the earth extended
But the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter)
And his path cannot be bended
Yes it hits (yes it hits)
The sinners heart (the sinners heart)
Turns their sorrow into laughter
And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance)
Up the mount of the redeemed
