These blind eyes search for Your face
These weak hands feel for a place
To rest my head and heal my heart
Before the rest of me falls down or falls apart
[Chorus:]
Give my heart Your peace
I'm searching for it
Fill my soul with comfort in knowing that I'm on the right course
Lead my life as I search for light
In this troubled world around me
Give my heart Your peace
These deaf ears are straining to hear
Your whispers lifting me near
Out of my depths, out of my pride
To give me hope and push my fears aside
[Chorus:]
My soul is weary and so I fall down to my knees
I hope You can hear me,
I've come so far, so please don't leave,
[Chorus:]
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
The soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out
[Chorus: X2]
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
