Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I don't always feel it
Yeah, but that's when I need it the most
So I'ma keep on singing
Till my soul catches up with my song
[PreChorus]
There's times when my hands go up freely
And times that it costs
There's days when a praise comes out easy
Days when it takes all the strength I've got
[Chorus]
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
Oh, 'cause 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, whoa
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
'Cause faith isn't proven like gold
Till it's been through the fire, oh-oh
My head, heart, and hands are feeling heavy
But that's when I lift them just a little higher
[Chorus]
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
And I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail
Story-to-tell hallelujah
Oh, 'cause 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, whoa
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail
Story-to-tell hallelujah
Oh, 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
[Outro]
