Better Than A Hallelujah

Amy Grant · Somewhere Down The Road [2010]

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
