Hallelujah Anyway
by Rend Collective
Theology & Meaning
The song models the biblical pattern of praising God in hardship. It echoes the Psalms where lament and worship live together. Led well, it teaches the church to worship from conviction, not convenience.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this when your church needs to reclaim hope. Frame it with a short sentence acknowledging struggle and choosing praise. Keep the tempo driving and the chorus huge, and avoid turning it into a performance moment by prioritizing congregational volume.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the momentum driving forward while allowing for genuine emotion. This is resilient worship that doesn't deny pain but refuses despair.
