Better Than a Hallelujah

Several new posts below as I'm finally catching up on blogging...


A few weeks back I got the sweetest text message from my friend Laura who said that she thought of me when she heard the new song by Amy Grant "Better Than a Hallelujah," and she thanked me for making her sensitive to those who are struggling with infertility.  I actually had not heard the song yet when I got her text message but heard it on the radio not long after I got her message, and I immediately started crying when I heard the song.  These lyrics are so true.  How many times in the midst of infertility did I find myself unable to even find the words to pray?  God hears our heart.  Even recently, I've been walking with a friend through a very difficult time and find myself not having words when praying on her behalf.  God knows our needs. He just wants us to come to Him.

Better Than a Hallelujah by Amy Grant
God loves a lullaby 
In a mothers tears in the dead of night 
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes. 
God loves the drunkards cry, 
The soldiers 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. 

Better than a church bell ringing, 
Better than a choir singing out, singing out.
