Blackwater Hallelujah

[Verse 1]

I came in drenched in rain

With dirt on my heels

Mama left a lamp on

By the window sill

The room was full of shadows

And my name was in the floor

I knelt down in the corner

And asked for more

[Pre-Chorus]

If there is a fire

Let it know my face

If there is a river

Let it wash this place

I been bruised, I been bent

But I still sing

[Chorus]

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

Pull me through the dark

Pull me through the dark

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

I was lost in the flood

Now I’m calling Your name

[Verse 2]

The moon hung low and heavy

Like a scar on glass

I heard a hundred voices

From the church out back

They said my heart was restless

Like a match in oil

But grace came in real quiet

Working through the soil

[Pre-Chorus]

If there is a fire

Let it know my face

If there is a river

Let it wash this place

I been bruised, I been bent

But I still sing

[Chorus]

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

Pull me through the dark

Pull me through the dark

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

I was lost in the flood

Now I’m calling Your name

[Bridge]

[Half-time]

Let the old pain fall

Like leaves in the street

Let the bones go clean

Let the whole world speak

I heard mercy move

Through the rotten air

It took my broken hands

And left them there

[Final Chorus]

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

Pull me through the dark

Pull me through the dark

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

I was lost in the flood

Now I’m calling Your name

Blackwater hallelujah

Blackwater hallelujah

Amen in the storm

Amen in the flame
