The second single from his 5th studio album, Mobile Orchestra, Adam returns to his Christian roots in another powerful song about his faith, following the themes of similar previous works such as “Galaxies” and “You’re Not Alone”.
Adam described the song in the official newsletter:
“It’s a simple...
[Verse 1: Adam Young]
When my hope is lost and my strength is gone
I run to You, and You alone
When I can't get up, and I can't go on
I run to You, and You alone
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
Cause You're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
[Chorus 1: Adam Young]
Hallelujah, my almighty God divine
Hallelujah, I am Yours and You are mine
This is all I know how to say
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're my everything
[Verse 2: Adam Young]
When I'm plagued with pain, and filled with fear
I run to You, and You alone
When my days are few, and death is near
I run to You, and You alone
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
Cause You're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
[Chorus 2: Adam Young]
Hallelujah, my almighty God divine
Hallelujah, I am Yours and You are mine
This is all I know how to say
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Bridge: Adam Young]
When trouble comes and goes
And when the cold wind blows
I lift my hands up
I lift my hands up
When sorrow knocks me down
And You pick me off the ground
I lift my hands up
I lift my hands up
And I sing …
[Chorus 3: Adam Young]
Hallelujah, my almighty God divine
Hallelujah, I am Yours and You are mine
This is all I know how to say
[Outro: Adam Young]
Hallelujah, by the grace of God above
Hallelujah, I'll shine a light cause I am loved
This is all I know how to say
Hallelujah, hallelujah
This is all I know how to say
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're my everything
Oh-oh, You're my everything
