This song was posted above, and I hope Joe (or a clone) can remove the earlier posting(s). I have shortened the song and made some other changes to the lyrics, as well as correcting errors in the chords posted. (I also hope the formatting survives transmission.

Valley Of the Shadow.  (Jeanene Pratt © 2001)

[G]......    [F]..........[C]......................   [D7] 
On our journey to the promised land,
[G]...........................[Em].............................[C]............................[D7]
We were vilely ambushed by an unseen outlaw band.
[Em]..........................................[Am]
Most of us survived it, but so many fell that day,
.............[D]..........................[D7].............[C]..............[D7]........[G]
Many sisters, many brothers perished in the fray.

In shock and anguish, terror and dread,
Our vision blurred, we couldn't see the road ahead.
We knew it was a crossroads; beyond that it was not clear.
We couldn't find our direction through the smoke and our tears.

..............................[G]..........................................[F]..........................[D7]
	Could we make it Through The Valley Of the Shadow?
..............................[G#]..........................[G]...............................[D7]
	Could we move ahead in spite of all our fears?
.............................[Em]..............................................................[Am]
	Could we feel beyond the hate, could we see our way clear 
.........................[D]...............................[D7]..................[C].......[D7]..............[G]
	Could we reach beyond our rage, See the way through our tears? 

We'd been living in a garden, rich beyond compare-- 
Some had called it the promised land and wanted to stay there.  
That there is no promised land when there is want outside the wall
And the dream is of liberty and justice for all."

	So we said, "Even through the Valley Of the Shadow,
	We'll move ahead in spite of all our fears.
	Though there be dust in our eyes, keep your eyes on the prize,
	The promised land worth all our toil and tears."

             F]                       [C]             [F]                         [G]*
Then the sky was filled with fire and we heard the thousands scream,
And we saw the buildings crumble with so many hearts and dreams!**
Now some of us are cowering, frozen in our tracks.
Many cry for vengeance!  Some say we must turn back,

	Can we make it through the Valley Of the Shadow?
	Can we move ahead in spite of all our fears?
	Can we feel beyond the hate, can we see our way clear 
	Can we reach beyond our rage, see the way through our tears? 

Now, once again we're moving, our anger justified, 
Assured in all our ardor that God is on our side,
But have we got our bearings enough to comprehend
Just where it is we're going, where it all might end?

	Is the garden now the valley of the shadow?
	Will tomorrow be hostage to fear?
	Are we guided more by hate or by all that we hold dear?**
	Can we channel this rage, see the way through our tears? 

	Yes, "Even Through The Valley Of the Shadow,
	We'll move ahead in spite of fears.
	Though there be tears in our eyes, keep your eyes on the prize,
	The promised land, the dream of all the years."
	Though there be tears in our eyes, keep your eyes on the prize,
	The promised land, the dream of all the years."

*All choruses use the same chord pattern;the chord progression is the same on all verses, except for the first line of verse four. 

**Alternate lyrics:

Verse four: "Then our world came crashing down, as from a terrible earthquake, And it seemed our faith might shatter like the buildings in its wake."

Next to last chorus: "Are we greater than this hate?  Will the dream again be clear?**

As soon as I figure out how to do the MIDI, I will post it (or send it to Joe, so, hopefully, the MIDI can be posted with the lyrics here).
