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
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
So Lord hear my heart
In this painful place

Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You

When I am far away from home
and the cold wind starts to blow
when I'm empty and alone
I turn to you

When there's hardness in my heart
and I cannot see truth
and I'm wandering in the dark
I turn to you

and here in your holy presence
its all that I can do

I turn to you Jesus
I turn to you Lord

For the youth when I am old
For the strength when I am weak
For the warmth when I am cold
I turn to you

For the faith to move ahead
and to let go of the past
To see me as you do
I turn to you

and here in your holy presence
Its all that I can do

I turn to you Jesus
I turn you Lord

For you alone are worthy
the one and only God
the ruler of the nations
and the father of our hearts

I turn to you Jesus
I turn to you Lord
I turn to you you you you Jesus
I turn to you Lord

When I'm weak I will follow
In your arms I will stay
Will you lead me
only you can save

I turn to you Jesus
I turn to you
