I didn’t want the valley
I didn’t want the dark
I didn’t want a story
Of wounds and broken hearts
Nobody wants to stumble
Or ever hit the ground
Nobody wants to have to hurt
For healing to be found
But I see it when I look back now
And I can tell you this without a doubt
If I never hit rock bottom
If I never lost my way
If I never had to hit my knees
And call upon Your name
Then I wouldn’t know You Jesus
Not the way I do today
I wouldn’t really know Your love at all
If I didn’t know the fall
You heard me when I called You
You met me in my need
When I was barely holding on Lord
You held on to me
And I can see it when I look back now
And I can tell you this without a doubt
If I never hit rock bottom
If I never lost my way
If I never had to hit my knees
And call upon Your name
Then I wouldn’t know You Jesus
Not the way I do today
I wouldn’t really know Your love at all
If I didn’t know the fall
If I didn’t know the fall
If I didn’t know…
The sleepless nights
The tears I cried
The moments when I questioned, “Why?”
‘Cause through it all You stayed right by my side
If I never hit rock bottom
If I never lost my way
If I never had to hit my knees
And call upon Your name
Then I wouldn’t know You Jesus
Not the way I do today
I wouldn’t really know Your love at all
No, no I wouldn’t really know Your love at all
If I didn’t know the fall
