Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Had an old coat
And a thin pair of shoes
Pocket full of lint
Head full of bad news
Mama lit a candle
Said
“Kneel by this pew”
Floor was all splinters
But the Spirit came through
[Pre-Chorus]
I was counting my failures
You were counting my days
I was begging for rescue
You were building my stage
[Chorus]
Started with nothing but a wounded hallelujah
Just me and these empty hands
Now I’m dancing in a overflow future
Joy running over like I never had
From busted and broken
To chosen and spoken for
You turned my “maybe” to a mighty roar
From empty hands
To hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Used to watch the rich folk
Drive by in their shine
Dreams on clearance
Hope on decline
Now I sign them papers
Put food on that table
Still hear that choir
“God is able
God is able”
[Pre-Chorus]
I was chasing approval
You were chasing my heart
I was praying for pennies
You were planning my start
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I remember cold nights
Cracked walls
Shared room
Now I send back checks to the block I’m from
Bought Mama that house
With a big front pew
So every single blessing
Points right back to You
[crescendo]
I got cars
I got keys
I got doors that swing
But the gold in my chest is the song I sing
If You took it all back
I’d still have enough
‘Cause Your name in my mouth
Is my greatest wealth
[Chorus]
Started with nothing but a wounded hallelujah
Just me and these empty hands
Now I’m dancing in a overflow future
Joy running over like I never had
From busted and broken
To chosen and spoken for
You turned my “maybe” to a mighty roar
From empty hands
To hallelujah
