Scripture tells us that, under the control of the Holy Spirit, we should be “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19). May you be encouraged by the spiritual truth in this song!
Hallelujah Anyway
Words by Rend Collective
I’ll find a way to praise You
From the bottom of my broken heart,
‘Cause I think I’d rather strike a match
Than curse the dark.
Yeah, I’ll find a way to thank You,
Though bitterness is real and hard,
‘Cause I’d rather take a chance on hope
Than fall apart.
I don’t think I’m ready to surrender to the dark.
Chorus:
Even if my daylight never dawns,
Even if my breakthrough never comes,
Even if, I’ll fight to bring You praise;
Even if my dreams fall to the ground,
Even if I’m lost, I know I’m found,
Even if, my heart will somehow say,
Hallelujah anyway.
I hear a hymn of triumph
In the wilderness of my lament;
In the lowlands or the mountain tops, I won’t forget
All that goodness that You have shown me,
The promises that You have kept.
There’s better days on the horizon up ahead.
Chorus
Let it rise, let it rise,
In the dark, or the light.
Oh my soul, stand and fight.
If you’ve got a song to sing, let it rise.
Chorus:
Even if my daylight never dawns,
Even if my breakthrough never comes,
Even if, I’ll fight to bring You praise;
Even if my dreams fall to the ground,
Even if I’m lost, I know I’m found,
Even if, my heart will somehow say,
Hallelujah anyway.
