Brandon Lake’s ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’ is an Anthem to Fight Against the Enemy

Brandon Lake’s new song “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is out today, and it’s already viral on TikTok.

Produced by Chris Stapleton’s go-to producer, the song draws from Lake’s parents’ story of enduring six miscarriages. “Hard Fought Hallelujah” speaks to finding the strength to worship in life’s hardest battles. It’s a reminder that sometimes praising God right in the middle of the storm is an act of faith.

Sometimes life can feel like a fight, and our worship can be an anthem to fight against the enemy.

“Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands—” | Psalm 149:6

Lyrics:

Yeah I don’t always feel it
But that’s when I need it the most
So I’mma 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

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
‘Til it’s been through the fire
My head heart and hands are feeling heavy
But that’s when I lift them just a little higher

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

Worship can be joyful, but it’s also sometimes raw, vulnerable, and messy. When we bring everything—our pain, grief, anger, and hurt—to His feet in worship, we open ourselves to the healing only He can provide. It’s in the honesty that true healing begins.
