Song Lyrics: Hard Fought Hallelujah ft. Jelly Roll by Brandon Lake
Yeah I don’t always feel it
But that’s when I need it the most
So I’mma 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
So I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
And 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
So I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
It is well 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 higher
I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
And 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,
Oh, 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)
Oh Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
