Hallelujah for Her Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of glory In the ones who never quit Who carry love like water Through the desert and the grit A young girl became a mountain Before she knew her name Holding heaven in her shaking hands And rising through the flame [Chorus] Hallelujah for the hands that held us tight Hallelujah for the love that wouldn't break For every prayer she whispered in the night For every weary step she chose to take We lift her name, we lift her name in praise [Verse 2] Two jobs and five small shadows Following her home She made a feast from nothing And we never felt alone Day shift turned to night shift But her heart never closed She was the roof above us And the garden where we grow [Chorus] Hallelujah for the hands that held us tight Hallelujah for the love that wouldn't break For every prayer she whispered in the night For every weary step she chose to take We lift her name, we lift her name in praise [Bridge] Viola, oh Viola Every candle, every year Is a testimony shining That God walked with you here [Verse 3] So today we crown our mother With the gratitude we owe For the songs you sang above us For the strength you've come to know Happy birthday, sweet Viola May the heavens hold you near You're the answered prayer we live in You're the love that brought us here [Chorus] Hallelujah for the hands that held us tight Hallelujah for the love that wouldn't break For every prayer she whispered in the night For every weary step she chose to take We lift her name, we lift her name in praise [Outro] Viola, our forever song The home where we belong
