Broken

With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart’s in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more


Yet I trust in this moment
You’re with me somehow
And You’ve always been faithful


So Lord even now


When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins


I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah


Oh Father, You have given
Much more than I deserve
And I have felt Your hand of blessing
On me at every turn


How could I doubt Your goodness
Your wisdom, Your grace
So Lord hear my heart
In this painful place


Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You

Broken Hallelujah-Freedom(Psalm 42:1-5, Acts 16:22-25a)
Behind the Song:
“Broken Hallelujah” is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard. I believe that there is a presence of the Lord that comes when we as believers offer up a sacrifice of praise and I think that when things are not going the best, when our circumstances could not look worse, I think that when we offer up a Hallelujah to the Lord that that honors him more than any other thing. And so “Broken Hallelujah” is a song that mirrors the power that can happen when we as believers lift up that sacrifice of worship to His name." - Mandisa

Where do I go from here? There's such surrender in arms lifted high, eyes closed. Such trust. even in those around you.
