In “the most honest song I’ve ever written,” Brandon Lake delivers a powerful testimony of faith in the fire. “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is a raw, vulnerable anthem of the joy that comes when we choose surrender over the temptations of sorrow and despair.
The song's soulful lyrics describe the experience of lifting weary hands in prayer, earnestly seeking a miracle from God: “Yeah, I don’t always feel it. But that’s when I need it most. So I’ma keep on singing, ‘Til my soul catches up with my song.”
With a powerful Gospel choir, expressive vocals and an electrifying guitar riff, you’ll feel fired up to get back up and bring a hallelujah to the King who is fighting for you.
The song has been released in new remixes alongside artists like Steven Furtick and Benjamin William Hastings, although it was first shared as a special preview for fans at a live concert in January 2024.
When speaking about the track, Lake said “I wanted to give my fans a taste of something special while on the road. This song is about the battles we face, the grit throughout the fight for faith and the praise that comes after. I hope it resonates deeply with everyone.”
