Hold On To The Hallelujah

[Intro]

[Choir humming on the chords

Claps building]

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah

[Verse 1]

Been down so long I felt the floor breathe

Tears in my coffee in the dawn gray

Bills on the table like a high wave

Thought I was sinking

Heard Your name say

[Chorus]

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Say it till the shadow has to move ya (move ya)

Praise in the pressure

Praise in the pain

Clap in the middle of the heartbreak rain

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Even when the night won’t answer to ya

One little song

That’s all you gotta do

Hold on to the hallelujah

[Verse 2]

Phone full of numbers I can’t call now

Friends turned to strangers in a slow fade

Heart like a house with all the lights out

Then I felt mercy in the doorway

[Chorus]

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Say it till the shadow has to move ya (move ya)

Praise in the pressure

Praise in the pain

Clap in the middle of the heartbreak rain

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Even when the night won’t answer to ya

One little song

That’s all you gotta do

Hold on to the hallelujah

[Bridge]

[Music drops to bass

Piano

Soft organ]

When I say “God is” you say “faithful”

(God is) faithful

(God is) faithful

When I say “God is” you say “able”

(God is) able

(God is) able

When I say “God is” you say “with me”

(God is) with me

Right here

Right now

[Chorus]

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Say it till the shadow has to move ya (move ya)

Praise in the pressure

Praise in the pain

Clap in the middle of the heartbreak rain

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Even when the night won’t answer to ya

One little song

That’s all you gotta do

Hold on to the hallelujah

[Chorus]

[Key change

Full choir]

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Say it till the mountain has to move ya (move ya)

Dance in the valley

Shout in the storm

Love in the fire gonna keep you warm

Hold on

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Every single breath is running to ya

One little song

He’s pulling you through

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)

Hold on to the hallelujah (hallelujah)
