Hallelujah

In dying night, I felt the morn'.

The fleeing shadows light adorn.

The cold of night was dying ever slowly.



Inside, my heart was truly torn,

I felt no love, and so I'd mourn.

I'd weep, and feel like no one ever knows me.



Hallelujah...



I wiped my tears from 'cross my face.

They'd fall and more would come my way.

I'd tell myself that I was never worthy.



I thought about the end of days,

When I would put my life away,

For all of those around me never knew me.



Hallelujah...



I walked upon a dying shore,

A place, my home forevermore.

I trembled every time I came upon it.



I walked up to a rotting door,

And opened it, and on the floor

Was the blood of all the ones who 'ere came through it.



Hallelujah...



The stench was greater than I knew.

I thought the pain, I overthrew.

My aching heart, I felt it melting through me...



My friends, or those I thought were close

Were really those I didn't know,

And I stand to reason why they kneel before Thee.



Hallelujah...



The time is coming now, I see,

When I can only dream of thee.

I only feel my heart is sinking deeper.



Behold the night is turned to morn,

And I can see, my life is torn.

And all I'm thinking now is Hallelujah.


Hallelujah...



I thought I had it straightened out,

But then, I saw that all my doubt

Was ever slowly coming to my doorstep.



It made itself to be the known,

And yet again, I feel alone!

I'm shrieking in the night for Lord Jehovah.



Hallelujah...



Another feeling holdens me.

This time, I feel no need to flee.

I gently take the light, and bring it toward me.



The night has died, revealed the light

I feel like everything's alright.

And suddenly, I fall down to my knees.



Hallelujah...



And now, I feel no longer torn.

I see the Lord has brought the morn.

He tells me that He's Alpha and Omega.



The rotting door is shutting now,

Forgetting it, I hear the sound,

Of my voice, it's saying Hallelujah!



Hallelujah...



Forgotten now are pain and strife.

He's cut it now, as by a knife.

I feel depression has no grip upon me.



I see my friends, and in their pain,

The're in the Light; they feel their shame.

And now we're singing broken Hallelujah's.



Hallelujah...



United now, we fall and bow

To the King, Creator, Victor now.

We praise Him for the Glory He has shown us.



I look back now, and all I see

Is the pain that was inside of me,

And the fact that He has saved us! Hallelujah!



Hallelujah...
