This blog used to be called "Funny Writer Mommy." There's a joke between my Writer Friend and I that people like me because I'm funny. I used to be Funny Writer Girl, but then I became a mommy, and I thought I should grow up. But then one day I watched a slideshow depicting a day of radiation for the 10-year-old son of friends of mine from high school. Another former classmate of ours had taken the photos and put them into a slideshow with "Better Than a Hallelujah" playing in the background.
I couldn't think of a better sentiment either, especially for a life that seeks honest praise. So here it is. May my life truly be filled with hallelujahs and honesty that is sometimes better even than that.
God loves a lullaby"Better Than a Hallelujah," Sarah Hart and Chapin Hartford
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
The tears of shame for what's been done
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
