There truly was no future. Not one that I could imagine anyway. Just like that, Miriam was gone. No warning, no sliver of hope that there was a chance to save her. Nothing but a still image and a silent monitor.

Have you ever been there? Have you ever lost everything? Do you remember the numbness? Do you remember the deafening silence? Do you remember the feeling of complete and total isolation? Like nobody else in the world could possibly understand what you are going through…

Let me tell you about a song. A song that Jonah wrote in the deepest, darkest place of grief. When all of these feelings were overwhelming him.

Last night, I got to hear the song for the first time with a full band. Our amazing friends hosted a Night Of Worship to celebrate our sweet Miriam and they sang this song. Miriam’s song. Hallelujah.

Verse 1

You know the thoughts I have no words for

You know the pain that cuts so deep

When my world crumbles all around me

Still your promises you keep

Pre-Chorus

You know my every need

And before I speak, you were there for me

I know I’m safe within your hands

Chorus

All I can say is hallelujah

Every day a hallelujah 

When I don’t understand

All the things you have planned

All I can say is hallelujah

Verse 2

Your plans are higher than I can understand, I can comprehend

Your ways are higher than my ways

Pre-Chorus 2

You know my every need

And before I speak, you were there for me

Chorus

All I can say is hallelujah

Every day a hallelujah 

When I don’t understand

All the things you have planned

All I can say is hallelujah

Hallelujah

Bridge (x2)

No words are necessary

When you know every part of me

You know me, God

You know my every need

No words are necessary

When you know every part of me

You know me, God

Chorus

All I can say is hallelujah

Every day a hallelujah 

When I don’t understand

All the things you have planned

All I can say is hallelujah

Ending

What I can say but hallelujah

Every day a hallelujah
