Better Than a Hallelujah

Something God is teaching me right now is that He wants to hear from us no matter what our cry. Amy Grant's new song, Better Than a Hallelujah, speaks to just the words He is placing on my heart. I hope they encourage you today. (click on the title to hear/watch it on YouTube)

God loves a lullaby
In a mothers tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
God loves the drunkards cry,
The soldiers plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah.

The woman holding on for life,
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
The tears of shame for what's been done,
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes.

Better than a church bell ringing,
Better than a choir singing out, singing out.
