[Intro] I didn’t come with perfect faith tonight I came with pieces in my hands But if all I’ve got left is a whisper Then a whisper’s gonna stand [Verse 1] I prayed the kind of prayers That leave your forehead on the floor Begged for Heaven’s answer While hell was beating at the door I smiled at everybody Sunday Then broke down when I got home But somewhere in the midnight I heard God say, “You’re not alone” [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t wait for easy I won’t wait for light I’ll praise Him in the middle Before the miracle’s in sight [Chorus] Hallelujah anyway With tears still on my face With hell still at my door With my knees still on the floor I don’t praise Him when it’s easy I praise Him when it breaks If I’m standing in the fire I’ll make the furnace shake Hallelujah anyway Hallelujah anyway I lost more than I can carry But I still got hands to raise [Verse 2] I had questions in my Bible I had anger in my chest Said, “God, I know You’re faithful But I’m tired of being tested” I don’t understand the silence I don’t always feel the peace But I’ve seen too much mercy To believe He’s leaving me [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t wait for answers I won’t wait for proof I’ll build an altar in the ashes And give my worship to the truth [Chorus] Hallelujah anyway With tears still on my face With hell still at my door With my knees still on the floor I don’t praise Him when it’s easy I praise Him when it breaks If I’m standing in the fire I’ll make the furnace shake Hallelujah anyway Hallelujah anyway I lost more than I can carry But I still got hands to raise [Bridge] Anyway when the door stays shut Anyway when the answer waits Anyway when I’m still in pain I’ll bless His name I’ll bless His name Not because I feel it Not because it’s fair Not because I see Him But because He’s there Three went into the fire But four were walking in the flame If You don’t take me out of it Walk with me in Jesus’ name [Final Chorus] Hallelujah anyway With tears still on my face With hell still at my door With my knees still on the floor I don’t praise Him when it’s easy I praise Him when it breaks If I’m standing in the fire I’ll make the furnace shake Hallelujah anyway Hallelujah anyway I lost more than I can carry But I still got hands to raise So let the devil hear me singing Hallelujah anyway [Outro] I came in with ashes But I’m leaving with praise Hallelujah anyway Hallelujah anyway
