Better Than A Hallelujah

(Chapin Hartford, Sarah Hart) © SONY/ATV MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC

 

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
