2SAMUEL – A Broken Hallelujah by Bro H
Verse 1 I walked the roof when kings should fight, The city slept, the stars were bright, I saw what was not mine to take that night. I knew the law, I knew the Name, I still stepped past the line of flame, And called my will by love and not by shame. Chorus It wasn’t praise, it wasn’t pure, It wasn’t clean, it wasn’t sure,
It was a cracked and trembling hallelujah. From guilty hands and broken breath, From lust that led a man to death, I whispered back a shattered hallelujah. Verse 2 I sent the letter, sealed his fate, Put righteous blood outside the gate, And washed my hands while others paid the weight. The sword obeyed, the orders stood,
The crown looked strong, the throne looked good, But heaven saw the truth behind the wood. Chorus
It wasn’t praise, it wasn’t bright, It didn’t sound like truth or light, It echoed low, a fallen hallelujah.
The song I sang to hide my sin, Came back as judgment from within, And broke apart my hollow hallelujah.
There was a man with flocks and land, And one poor lamb held in his hand, He fed it, kept it close, it slept beside his bed. A traveler came, the rich man took, Not from his own, but from the poor man’s hook,
And when I heard it—I burned and said— “You are the man. The word is plain. You wore the crown, but broke the chain.” I tore my robe, I bowed my head, Against You only have I sinned, I said,
Let not my bones be numbered with the dead. Final Chorus It wasn’t sung with lifted hands, It wasn’t made for temple stands, It came from dust, a broken hallelujah. You did not leave me in the grave, But mercy scars what mercy saves, I live beneath that costly hallelujah. Outro The throne stood fast, the child was lost,
Forgiven—but not spared the cost. The song goes on, but changed forevermore. From fallen king to promised line, Through blood and tears, Your word held time, A kingdom born from mercy, not from war.
