Broken Hallelujah

I love puddles, and I love reflections, yet this photo speaks volumes–joy and pain. The song lyrics below are titled Broken Hallelujah. The sing is about learning to embrace God in our trials and praise him even though it sounds like it’s the last thing you would do.

~Rebekah

“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’re making beauty from these ashes

I’ve seen joy and I’ve seen pain
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 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

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 hallelujah

Hallelujah
I will always sing
Here’s my broken hallelujah..”
