Everyday Hallelujah

Hallelujah, in His mercy, God saw us
Hallelujah, out of love, He had come
Hallelujah, to the rescue for sinners
Hallelujah, sending His only Son

Hallelujah, we are known and forgiven
Hallelujah, God has called us His friends
Hallelujah, no more condemnation
Hallelujah, we are all called the saints

Hallelujah, gently, love creeps in motion
Hallelujah, souls grown cold become warm
Hallelujah, slowing down, Grace can enter
Hallelujah, new creation is formed

I must win, and you must lose
It's simple as it gets
The fit will win the world in power
And leave behind the rest

In the world, I'm most productive,
Worthy of my pay
Keep on moving, watch the clock,
And get out of my way! [HONK]

Hallelujah, In the quiet, we listen
Hallelujah, just to be with our God
Hallelujah, time to wait will teach patience
Hallelujah, gaining faith with a pause

Hallelujah, try outshining life's troubles
Hallelujah, doing good when it's tough
Hallelujah, giving blessing for cursing
Hallelujah, sharing more of God's love

Hallelujah, acting justly with people
Hallelujah, faithful is what He wants
Hallelujah, this is all that's required -
Hallelujah, walking humbly with God

Don't let yourself get hurt again
Protect yourself from harm
I won't give in and show them mercy
Mercy's for the weak

If they won't concede by Monday
I won't ever budge
Waiting till hell freezes over,
I'll still keep my grudge

Hallelujah, hearts grown hard become softer
Hallelujah, stiffened necks learn to bend
Hallelujah, opposites bear forgiveness
Hallelujah, strangers welcomed as friends

Hallelujah, open doors for God's goodness
Hallelujah, open hearts, open hands
Hallelujah, future plans for the hopeless
Hallelujah, once again, one more chance

Hallelujah, seeking Outs for inclusion
Hallelujah, letting others go first
Hallelujah, serving people who suffer
Hallelujah, guiding those in their search

Hallelujah, walking paths far from judgement
Hallelujah, finding mercy and grace
Hallelujah, we don't have all the answers
Hallelujah, we find God ev'ryday
