The Sweetest Hallelujah

VERSE 1
I remember Grandma always singing in the choir
She sounded like an angel to me
Every time I heard her voice lifted up in praise
It made me think how Heaven might be

CHORUS
She sang hallelujahs
In the kitchen and the church
She praised the Lord when life was good
And even when it hurt
I could hear her heart in every note and every single word
But I know when she met Jesus
She sang the sweetest hallelujah ever heard

VERSE 2
She sang her favorite hymns when she would tuck me in at night 
She worshipped while she put clothes away
And after Sunday dinner, she would wash and I would dry
To the tune of Amazing Grace

CHORUS

Bridge
The sweetest Hallelujah
Must have made the angels catch their breath
The sweetest Hallelujah
All of Heaven never will forget
They could hear her heart in every note and every single word
‘cause I know when she met Jesus
She sang the sweetest hallelujah ever heard

CHORUS
