[Verse 1]
When the pain hurts so bad, I can't see straight
When the enemy starts creeping in
Isolation and rest start to look the same
And loneliness swears he's a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe misery loves company 'cause misery knows
That hurting hurts worse when you're hurting alone
[Chorus]
I need You, oh Lord, how I need You
This very hour I need You
Oh, when pain's got me weak
I somehow find strength singing to Ya
So here's my heartbroken hallelujah
[Verse 2]
To be clear, I'm not here to wish the pain away
Just please be with me 'til it's gone
'Cause I can finally see the difference between
Having love, having loss, versus nothing at all
[Chorus]
I need You, oh Lord, how I need You
This very hour I need You
Oh, when pain's got me weak
I somehow find strength singing to Ya
So here's my heartbroken hallelujah
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
So Jesus, give me strength to embrace the pain like a trophy I've won
'Cause the deeper the grief means the deeper the love
[Outro]
I need You, oh Lord, how I need You
This very hour I need You
Oh, when pain's got me weak
I somehow find strength
When pain's got me weak
I somehow find strength
Oh, when pain's got me weak
I somehow find strength singing to Ya
So here's my heartbroken hallelujah
