I Raise A Hallelujah

Back in May of 2018, I went to the Bethel Heaven Come Conference and heard a new song, Raise a Hallelujah. Ever since that conference, Colby and I have been listening to it daily on repeat, however it wasn’t until just a few days ago that the song was finally released. Finally! Thankfully the Bethel.tv subscription has been getting us by all these months while we waited for it to officially come out.

Raise a Hallelujah definitely was my theme song for 2018 and I am still just as much a fan now, 8 months later, as I was the first time I heard it. It also became the theme song at the 2018 Moms in the Making conference which felt like such a gift to sing corporately since Colby and I had been singing it privately for so many months.

I highly encourage you to of course listen to the song, but first, listen to the testimony of the deep trial the song was birthed from, the story of a young boy, who nearly passed away from E. Coli. I still remember when he was severely ill, around Christmas of 2017, and the many prayers that were prayed for his miraculous recovery. Just like the boy’s family members and friends chose to do while he was in the hospital, I think the best thing you and I can do in the middle of a storm is worship. Why? Because praise and worship is your weapon that can be used to completely shut out the enemy. There is no room for negativity or evil to reside when praise is the only thing on your lips.

When you praise God, consider it a step of faith to not only look beyond your current circumstances, but to thank God for who he is, what he has done and what he will do. What Father doesn’t want to be shown love based on who he is, instead of what he does? What a gift it must be to him when we choose to praise him, despite what our season of life currently looks like. I like to think of it this way: if you are a Christian, you won’t have a choice to worship God when you are in Heaven, but here on earth? You have a choice! So will you choose to praise him when you are in the middle of a difficult season?

No matter what, choose to raise a hallelujah to the Lord at all times and you will soon notice that praising God instead of cursing him will turn your focus away from you and your problems and onto him. What better way to make the most of a hard season than by choosing to praise God. Amen and Amen!

Raise a Hallelujah

I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me

I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah, in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah, fear you lost your hold on me!

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Let’s sing a little louder (Let’s sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Let’s sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder!!

I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!
Oh, I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!
