Verse 1

I ain't got no glitzy choir robe, I ain't got no shiny pew,
Just this busted rocking chair and an all clear back porch view.
But I got me breath and I got me the truth,
And I’m shoutin’ to the heavens like the hills still do.

Chorus

Holler hallelujah, raise it to the sky—
Even when it’s broken, even when you cry.
Holler hallelujah, don’t wait ‘til you’re clean—
Praise Him in the mud,

in the mess,

in between.

Verse 2

Ain’t no steeple in my backyard, just that old lonesome pine,
But the Spirit found me anyway, in God’s own gracious time.
Don’t need no stage to lift my voice and sing—
Just a pounding porchboard pulpit and a rusty old swing.

Chorus

Holler hallelujah, raise it to the sky—
Even when it’s broken, even when you cry.
Holler hallelujah, don’t wait ‘til you’re clean—
Praise Him in the mud,

in the mess,

in between.

Verse 3

I got sorrow in my story, but I still got a shout,
The grave it tried to hold me, but His grace done pulled me out.
Ain’t no shame in the struggle—just the fire and the fight,
Now I’m singin’ like the sunrise despite one hell of a night.

Final Chorus and outro

Holler hallelujah when the devil draws near—
Holler hallelujah ‘til the valley rings clear.
Holler hallelujah with your scars and with your grin—
Let the wild-hearted worship come a crashin’ on in.

Yeah, holler hallelujah
→ He don’t own this ground!

Yeah, holler hallelujah
→ We were lost—but now we’re found!

Yeah, holler hallelujah
→ Ain’t no devil ever gonna hold us down!

C’mon people –

Holler hallelujah when the devil draws near—
Holler hallelujah ‘til the valley rings clear.
Holler hallelujah with your scars and your grin—
Let the wild-hearted worship come a crashin’ on in.

Yeah,

hallelujah!

Bless you Lord.
