Better Than a Hallelujah

This one made me cry, get the Kleenex first….

BETTER THAN A HALLELUJAH

by Amy Grant

God loves a lullaby
In a mother’s tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard’s cry
The soldier’s plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what’s been done
The silence when the words won’t come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

Ready to “Flangiprop”?

by dianarasmussen

DAILY PROMPT

Invent a definition for the word “flangiprop,” then use the word in a post.

Flangiprop: What happens when you spontaneously break out in dance; and then get so dizzy spinning around that you fall down and hit the wall!

The funny thing is I went to Google to see if this really was a word, and all you see are our posts! I guess it’s a word now!

Diana was found flangiproping today, after listening to random music. She better settle down, its almost time to go to work!

Here’s some fun choices if you’d like to join me….

Yep, I know I need help….Here’s hoping you are dancing today! 🙂

The Final Post for Sara (Trigger Warning)

by dianarasmussen

This song is a memoir to a blogger that I used to know – Sara. She had suffered through child abuse, multiple personalities, and much more. I always admired her courage, she would just put herself out there and write what had happened and how she felt about it. She touched many of us. Today, … Read more

The Spirit of the Lord

by dianarasmussen

Rejoicing in the Word with Isaiah 61.

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
