Better Than A Hallelujah



God works in mysterious ways. This is know. God worked in a mysterious way through my best friend Laura when she shared the following song with me in a time when I needed it the most. I wanted to share the lyrics with everyone else - it's a beautiful reminder that God wants us just as we are to come to Him always...

no matter what.


Better Than A Hallelujah
Amy Grant

God loves a lullaby
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's 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

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

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

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

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah



Thank you for being my best friend Laura. Thank you for being there for me always and no matter what. You are miles and miles away and I miss you everday of my life but somehow our friendship remains and grows. God is our common denominator and I love Him for giving me you. You are one of the most beautiful people I know and I will always love you.
