Hard Fought Hallelujah

Yeah, I don't always feel it
But that's when I need it the most
So Imma keep on singing
'Til my soul catches up with my song

There's times when my hands go up freely
And times that it costs
There's days when a praise comes out easy
And days when it takes all the strength I've got

I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
God, You've been patient, God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Oh, I've wrestled with the darkness
But I'm trying to reach for the light
Yeah, the struggle keeps me honest
And it breaks down the walls of my pride

'Cause faith isn't proven like gold
'Til it's been through the fire
My head, heart and hands are feeling heavy
But that's when I lift them just a little bit higher

I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
God, You've been patient, God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Lord, I need You
More than I need anything in my life
Lord, won't You free me? It ain't been easy
Break all these chains, Lord

I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
God, You've been patient, God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
