Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake turned in a live soul-stirring “Hard Fought Hallelujah” performance. The two super-talented musicians wowed the crowd at the Grand Ole Opry with their powerful, moving rendition of the hit song. Watch the short but emotional clip as Brandon and Jelly Roll give a dazzling vocal performance.

Life is often not an enjoyable experience. Sadly, storms and challenges have a way of finding and visiting all of us at one time or another. There will no doubt be instances that push you to your limits and result in immense pain and sorrow.

There may even be times when you’re left wondering and asking about God. Where is He in all of this? What is He doing right now? Why has He seemingly disappeared when I need Him the most? While those are normal thoughts to have while going through a storm, God is forever faithful. He has never let us down in the past and won’t do so in the future, either.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Brandon and Jelly Roll perform “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” It’s an emotional, powerful tune about going through life’s storms but continuing to praise and thank the Lord even when it hurts and we’re unsure about His plan.

“There’s times when my hands go up freely

And times that it costs, oh-oh

There’s days when a praise comes out easy

Days when it takes all the strength I got”

Even if you aren’t a fan of either Brandon or Jelly Roll, “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is still an easy song to love. The song describes a situation everyone has been in at one time or another. We’ve all experienced pain and heartache.

Praising and thanking the Lord when things are going well and according to our plan is easy. But it’s much more difficult to do when we’re experiencing pain, sorrow and grief. Regardless of our present circumstances, He is good, loving and faithful. He is still deserving of all praise, glory and honor.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
