"The tears of shame for what's been done
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes.

God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's plea not to let him die
The honest cries of breaking hearts
They are better than a Hallelujah to Him.

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out
When we pour out our miseries
God hears our melody." - Amy Grant

BETTER THAN A HALLELUJAH are the repented cries...
they are a melody to our Father's ears and eyes. - PC
