Tears Turned To Praise

I’ve walked through the fire
I’ve bent but not broken
Every prayer was a whisper
When words were unspoken

I carried the questions
The nights felt so long
But in the silence
You gave me a song

Every tear that fell like rain
Watered hope within my pain
Now the morning breaks the night
And I lift my voice to fight

This is my tears-turned-to-praise
My battle-born anthem raised
From the valley I arise
With Your name lifted high
This is my tears-turned-to-praise
You have never walked away
Through the sorrow, through the flame
Jesus, You have stayed

I stood in the shadow
Of doubt and defeat
But grace was the echo
That carried my feet

Every scar is a story
Of mercy that stayed
What the enemy shattered
Your love has remade

Every tear that fell like rain
Watered hope within my pain
Now the morning breaks the night
And I lift my voice to fight

This is my tears-turned-to-praise
My battle-born anthem raised
From the valley I arise
With Your name lifted high
This is my tears-turned-to-praise
You have never walked away
Through the sorrow, through the flame
Jesus, You have stayed

Hallelujah for the fire
That refined this heart of mine
Hallelujah in the valley
You were there, You gave me life
Hallelujah through the darkness
You were writing something new
Hallelujah for the struggle
Cause it led me back to You

This is my tears-turned-to-praise
My battle-born anthem raised
Through the breaking and the pain
Still, Your love remains
This is my tears-turned-to-praise
You have never walked away
Every step, You made a way
Jesus, You have stayed

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Tears turned to praise
