broken hallelujah

with my love and my sadness i come before You Lord
my heart's in a thousand pieces, maybe even more
yet i trust in this moment You're with me somehow
and You've always been faithful so Lord even now

when all that i can sing is a broken hallelujah
when my only offering is shattered praise
still a song of adoration will rise up from these ruins
and i will worship You and give You thanks
even when my only praise is a broken hallelujah

oh Father You have given much more than i deserve
and i have felt Your hand of blessing on me at every turn
how could i doubt Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your grace
oh Lord hear my heart in this painful place

i lift my voice
Your spirit moves
i raise my hands
i reach for You

when all that i can sing is a broken hallelujah
when my only offering is shattered praise
still a song of adoration will rise up from these ruins
and i will worship You and give You thanks
even when my only praise is a broken hallelujah

hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah

Call me greedy, but I want another update! I'm not on fb, so what you share here is pretty much all I get. :-) How's it been since you've been home? Is it weird? How's the job? Do you miss VA? What is God doing in your life?

I know, I'm nosy. But I'm nosy with love.
