God loves a lullaby in a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
God loves a 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 sometimes.
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.
(Hymn composed by Sarah Hart and Chapin Hartford, sung by Angie Lenzo and Sam Asher at the "Faith in Action" banquet of the GRCC)
