Alleluia, praise the Lord

I grew up runnin’ from the truth, thinkin’ I could fix my pain with pride,
Walkin’ roads that led to nowhere, keepin’ all my hurt locked up inside.
Didn’t know who I was back then, thought I’d always be that troubled kid,
But somewhere in all that darkness, God saw more in me than I ever did.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, He found me in the ruins of the choices I made,
Lifted me up, whispered softly, “Son, you’re still worth the save.”

⸻

[Chorus — Longer Version]
Alleluia, praise the Lord, I’m standin’ stronger than before,
Took my broken past and built me up into somethin’ so much more.
I was fallin’, I was losin’, but He showed me what life’s meant for,
Now I’m walkin’ in redemption with a heart He finally restored.
Got a wife and a daughter now, their love’s the anchor to my core,
And my mama and my brother trust me like they never did before.
Alleluia, praise the Lord — yeah, He turned my life around for sure.

[Verse 2]
Mama used to cry at night, sayin’ “God, please bring my baby home,”
Brother kept his distance ‘cause he felt like he never truly knew me at all.
But now we talk like old best friends, trust rebuilt brick by brick,
Feels like the Lord Himself healed every wound I never thought would fix.

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I look back at that lost kid I used to be,
I thank God He never quit — He saw a man I couldn’t see.


[Chorus — Longer Version]
Alleluia, praise the Lord, I’m livin’ brighter than before,
Took a kid from troubled nights and opened up a better door.
I was runnin’, I was breakin’, but He proved I was worth fightin’ for,
Now I’m holdin’ every blessing that I once thought I’d ignore.
Got my family standin’ with me now, and a peace I can’t ignore,
Alleluia, praise the Lord — forever I’ll praise Him more and more.

Pre-Chorus]
Every tear Mama shed, every prayer she prayed for me,
Was a seed God watered ‘til I grew into who I’m meant to be.


[Bridge]
Every scar’s a page in the story He rewrote,
Every lie I believed, He pulled right out my throat.
If you’re standin’ in your shadows thinkin’ you’re too far gone,
Let me tell you, child, God’s reach is long — His mercy strong.


[Breakdown Chorus — Softer]
Alleluia, praise the Lord… He fought for me when I couldn’t fight,
Held me through the darkest nights, never let me slip from His sight.
Alleluia, praise the Lord… He gave me back my family,
Gave me love, gave me hope, gave me the man I’m meant to be.


[Final Chorus — Extended + Full Power]
Alleluia, praise the Lord, I’m standin’ taller than before,
Made a miracle from a mess and blessed me down to my very core.
I was breakin’, I was hurtin’, but He opened up a brand-new door,
Turned my trials into triumphs I can’t help but thank Him for.
Now my wife and my daughter smile at the man they’re proud to adore,
And my family’s closer than ever — we’re united like never before.
Alleluia, praise the Lord — forever He’s the one I’ll praise and more.
