I heard a song that resonates with me, giving me permission to be where i am. to be in this season.
This season of praising God with one hand, cursing at him with the other.
This season of finding God to be exciting, and yet terrifying.
This season where my God heart, my Spirit, is being shaped into some other form.
A few of the lyrics say, "we poor out our miseries, God just hears a melody." The lyrics go on to say this is Better than a Hallelujah.

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.
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.

"The silence when the words won't come"
ReplyDeleteThis is where I have been living...most days my heart feels spent and I don't even have the words to express where I'm at to Him.
The thought of God just hearing the melody in my frustrated silence, or even in my cursing, comforts me like nothing else.
It speaks to the very heart of God, the fact that he just wants to be near us. Share in our joys and our sadness. It speaks of how He just KNOWS us and loves us anyway :)
If I could only realize this in the moment, rather than trying to always do it on my own first. He truly does want to share it all with me.
Thank you Denise.
May God continue to transform your heart into something more and more beautiful.
Know that in this season, you greatly encourage me.
Never heard this song before but I loved the words. Love your heart, Denise.
ReplyDeletewow, I have never heard that song before but the words spoke straight to my heart.
