Story Behind the Song
“”Hey, y’all. I’m Brandon Lake. And my new song, Hard Fought Hallelujah, really came about just thinking about all of my friends and family members that, you know, really, all of us, are going through seasons from time to time that are so incredibly difficult to worship through and to praise through. But I believe that worship is a weapon, and that, man, when you lift up hallelujah in the hardest fought season, you know, there’s something that God does. He inhabits the praises of his people, and, he enters into that situation, and he works. Everything that the. The enemy meant for evil, he turns it for good. so God bless you guys. Whatever you’re facing, I pray this is encouraging to.” – Brandon Lake

Lyrics to “Turn”
Lyrics
Yeah, I don’t always feel it
But that’s when I need it the most
So I’ma keep on singing
‘Til my soul catches up with my song
There’s times when my hands go up freely
And times that it costs
There’s days when a praise comes out easy
And days when it takes all the strength I’ve got
[Chorus]
I’ll bring my hard-fought heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
I’ll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail
Story to tell hallelujah
God, You’ve been patient
God, You’ve been gracious
Faithful whatever I’m feeling or facing
So I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
It is well hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 2]
I’ve wrestled with the darkness
But I’m trying to reach for the light
Yeah, the struggle keeps me honest
And it breaks down the walls of my pride
‘Cause faith isn’t proven like gold
‘Til it’s been through the fire
Yeah, yeah
My head, heart and hands are feeling heavy
And that’s when I lift them just a little higher
[Chorus]
I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I’ll bring my storm-tossed, torn sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
God, You’ve been patient
God, You’ve been gracious
Faithful whatever I’m feeling or facing
I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Bridge]
Mmmm, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-woah
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I’ll bring my storm-tossed, torn sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah
God, You’ve been patient
God, You’ve been gracious
Faithful whatever I’m feeling or facing
So I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
[Outro]
Mmmm, yeah, hallelujah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah, halle—, halle—
Hallelujah
