Let It Be A Hallelujah (extended intro)---Lauren Daigle (September 10, 2025 at Oklahoma City, OK.)

Y'all sound amazing. That's that unity thing. Whenever we're all lifting one voice, one song to the Lord, there's nothing like it. It is like the most contagious thing. I just, my heart begins to leap every time. And if you, if you don't know Jesus and you're here, you are welcome. Come on, jump into somebody's arms because this is the woman, grace of Jesus. He is kind. He is loving. He is merciful. He is just, he is compassionate. He, it says he is rich in mercy, full of grace, running after you. And here's the thing. There are so many moments in life when we do not have it figured out and where we question everything. And he is the one that holds us all together. It says he's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. Oh, I love that song. I know it's a crazy time out there right now. And I know there's a lot going on, but that is the one thing we can depend on. It's the one thing we can rely on that Jesus is Lord. He is full. He is faithful. He never tarries. He doesn't waste time. He's always right on time. If you need a miracle, it, I love that it takes just that simple mustard seed of faith and it can move incredible mountains. There are one who touched the hem of his garment and just said, God, please, the simplicity. She, I would wonder at the time, like, what, what did she say? What were the words that came out of her mouth or was there no words? Were there no words? Did she just simply touch the hem of his garment and get healed? So many times we strive to speak. We strive to find words to say, God, maybe if I just say the right words, he'll heal me. Maybe if I just pray the right prayer, things would change. Maybe if I just, maybe if I just, but the grace of God is all sufficient. It is the thing that we can lean on. It is the thing that we can rely on. We don't have to strive in the presence of God. That is the glory of the cross, but there is no more striving, but instead we just get to run into the arms of a loving father. Yet the simple hem of the garment touch was enough to heal someone who had been sick for 12 years of illness and a shameful illness at that one where she was ostracized from her entire community. How many of you feel alone? How many of you feel rejected? How many of you feel like there is nothing more to this life that you could live because you've already been through it all? He is the one source of hope. He is the one who he said, I felt that leave me. Who was it that touched? Who is it? That's been long suffering. That's been in agony because he sympathized. He sympathized with his neighbor. He sympathized with his sister. He sympathized with the one who was needing something, who was in a form of desperation that she would crawl on the ground just to touch the hem of his garment, that level of desperation to say, I know who the king is. I know who can save me. I know who can set me free. And I don't care the links that I have to go to prove my love and my knowing of who he is. I find so much in her testimony. And so I don't know who is here tonight that is longing and who needs to find maybe trust for the very first time in their life. Maybe they've been rejected by society. Maybe they don't know how to make ends meet. He is the way he is the truth that he is the life. He will bring the hardest heart. And I'm just, I'm so grateful to get to sing these songs. Like my heart genuinely leaps because I could, let's just be really transparent. When I first started, I was like, Oh God, I want to sing about the hope that I've found in you, but please don't bring me to Christian music. I don't want to be made fun of for the rest of my life. And now I am like, Lord, he knew, he knew the songs that would enter into the heart of man to be able to transform people's lives for the goodness of who he is. It is so powerful to me, and I'm so grateful to get to sing these songs. And, um, it's pretty special. So anyway, we have a new song out as a matter of fact, and it's called, let it be a hallelujah. We're going to sing it for you guys today. Take my life and let it be my soul devoted Lord to thee. Take my moments and all my days make them endless praise. Take my heart and spirit and the truth for the glory of your name. With every breath, with every song and melody, every trial, every tear, in the chaos, faithful Lord, through all my life, a hallelujah to you God.
