Better Than a Hallelujah

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

And 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

Honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life

And a dying man giving up the fight

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Tears of shame for what's been done

The silence when the words won't come

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

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

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

Honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Better than a Hallelujah

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
