Hard Fought Hallelujah- song lyrics

Doug Hall • January 29, 2026

God deserves our praise on the mountain top and in the valley. He is worthy of all praise.

We can worship God by being in His presence and having our heart postured towards him in many ways, but singing praise to Him is a great way to express our love for Him. Brandon Lake's song Hard-fought Hallelujah is raw and real and powerful and the lyrics speak right to our heart and soul: "Yeah, I don't always feel it Yeah, but that's when I need it the most. So, I'm a keep on singing 'Til my soul catches up with my song. There's times when my hands go up freely And times that it costs, oh-oh. There's days when a praise comes out easy Days when it takes all the strength I got. I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, Been-through-hell hallelujah. And I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail Story-to-tell hallelujah, oh 'Cause God, You've been patient, God, You've been gracious Faithful, whatever I'm feeling or facing. So I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah,

Hallelujah (ooh, ooh), hallelujah. I've wrestled with the darkness But I'm tryin' to reach for the light. Yeah, the struggle keeps me honest And it breaks down the walls of my pride. 'Cause faith isn't proven like gold 'Til it's been through the fire, eh-eh. My head, heart, and hands are feeling heavy, But that's when I lift them just a little higher."

 

Wow that is a great song to scream out at the top of our lungs because it is filled with the honesty and glory of our struggle as Christians in this fallen world.
