This great song by The Afters is a very authentic look into the life of a Christian. We have ups and downs like everyone. We make mistakes. But, through it all we still give praise to God. Our prayer is: We know you are here Lord. We trust you to bring us through anything. God, please accept our broken hallelujah...
Verses for Consideration:
John 12:24-25 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Psalm 34:18 ESV
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Lyrics:
I can barely stand right now Everything is crashing down And I wonder where you are
I try to find the words to pray I don't always know what to say But you're the one who can hear my heart
Even though I don't know what your plan is I know you make beauty from these ashes
I've seen joy and I've seen pain And on my knees I call your name Here's my broken hallelujah With nothing left to hold onto I raise these empty hands to you Here's my broken Here's my broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Here's my broken hallelujah
You know the things that have brought me here You know the story of every tear 'Cause you've been here from the very start
Even though I don't know what your plan is I know you make beauty from these ashes
I've seen joy and I've seen pain And on my knees I call your name Here's my broken hallelujah With nothing left to hold onto I raise these empty hands to You Here's my broken Here's my broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Here's my broken hallelujah
When all is taken away
Don't let my heart be changed
Let me always sing hallelujah
When I feel afraid, Don't let my hope be erased Let me always sing Let me always sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah (here's my broken hallelujah) Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah (here's my broken hallelujah) Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
