A Beautiful Mess

Amy Grant's "Better than a Hallelujah"

God loves a lullaby
In a mothers tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
God loves a 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


These words speak volumes to me.  I'm currently battling some inner demons (part of the reason why I felt the need to begin a blog) and this song encourages me to speak my struggles to God for He adores when I come to Him with hope that He will assist.  He has...  He still does...  In sharing this song, I hope that someone might hear the lyrics and feel capable of surrendering to God and allowing Him to wrap His Whole Self around you.  You'll make it through, we both will.
Sometimes I find that my advice is meant for my little self.  I sit here chuckling at myself because in my attempts to make it seem like I have struggled but now see the light at the end of the tunnel, I've come to own the fact that I have only now accepted help.  I'm knee deep in my own self conscience on that damned battle field.  There, I said it.  SO maybe this post is a for me by me deal.
