Verse 1
I wake up with my boots still on
From yesterday’s fight
Told myself I was stronger now
Guess I lied last night
Coffee’s cold, Bible’s open
But the words won’t stay
Feels like grief beat me outta bed
And stole my breath today

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been standing on faith
With a crack in my spine
Trying to look healed
While I’m coming apart inside

Chorus
So God, take this half a hallelujah
It’s all I got to give
One hand’s holding on to hope
One don’t know how to live
Some days I’m walking steady
Some days I crawl back through
If You can meet me in the breaking
I’ll keep believing You

Verse 2
I laughed with folks at work today
Said I’m doing fine
But grief’s a thief that waits till dawn
And kicks the door each time
I go to sleep thinking maybe
I finally found my ground
Then morning hits like a funeral bell
Ringin what I lost out loud

Pre-Chorus
I ain’t asking for answers
Or a clean escape
Just don’t let this sorrow
Take more than it’s already taken

Chorus
So God, take this half a hallelujah
Ragged and outta tune
I still whisper Your name
Even when it hurts to move
I’m split right down the middle
Between the scars and truth
If You can hold me when I’m shaking
I’ll keep trusting You

Bridge
Be the nail in the loose floorboard
The light on a one lane road
Be the strength when my knees give out
And the weight’s too heavy to hold
I don’t need the pain erased
Or the past undone
Just sit with me in the quiet
Till the morning comes

Chorus
God, take this half a hallelujah
From a heart barely stitched
I’m still breathing, still praying
Still standing in the ditch
I might not feel whole
But I ain’t letting go
If You’re with me in the breaking
I’ll survive the road

Outro
Yeah I’ll wake up split again tomorrow
But I’ll call Your name right through
Half a hallelujah
