Love the artwork you have chosen of the old cross in stone, it is beautiful.
Very well crafted lyrics you have delivered. Not sure if you meant there to be a question mark in this piece. "When the dark of life weighs you down
And pain's your offering?" If so I am sorry, but it left me a bit confused.
God bless!
Steve

An excellent photo that complements your poem perfectly. It is mainly about suffering. I can see this can be sung. The refrain is a surplus that makes it even better. Thanks for sharing this with us all.

Excellent tribute to the only God. Our Lord Jesus, the manifestation of the Most High. Love the song of worship, love the one it sings to. Hallelujah. Well done.

A lovely scripture from the Psalmist, I guess we've all had Hannah/Abraham moments, our souls have been torn apart by circumstance, but a love so great that God put our pain and suffering and nailed it to the cross, is the greatest gift our God could bestow, well done, nicely arranged and composed, beautifully written, the repeated lines of offering and suffering are very effected, well done, blessings, Roy

This poem, or song rather, The Hard Hallelujah, moves along quickly with biblical references to mankind's experiences with God. Nice.
