Better Than a Hallelujah


Happy day!  Is Winter over yet?! 

This has been a good day.  It's cold...we are in hibernation. But, we have a nice fire and don't have to go anywhere. The littles have been playing nicely together, while I worked on some small projects.  I even had some time to listen to some of my older Cd's (in peace).  I love how a song can take you back in time...unleashing emotions that swirl through your being... just as meaningful as the first time you heard them. I used to write lyrics in a notebook. My best friend teased me and still reminds me of it, today. I love the essence of each poetic line.  Sweet melody in my ears as the words danced through my mind. 

This song...

It is so beautifully written. The truth is, that God wants all of us.  He wants us to be reliant on Him, and him alone. He wants us to fall at his feet, cry out to him, cling to him. He desires a relationship with us. The prayers we whisper through tears, are melodious lyrics in HIS ears. He longs for the honesty and truthfulness of our broken spirit. 

The way that He loves me...is overwhelming.  





"Better Than A Hallelujah"


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 our 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
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
