\u201cI\u2019ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt\/ Been-through-hell hallelujah (ooh, ooh)\/ And I\u2019ll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail\/ Story-to-tell hallelujah, oh\/ \u2018Cause God, You\u2019ve been patient\/ God, You\u2019ve been gracious\/ Faithful, whatever I\u2019m feeling or facing\/ So I\u2019ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah, whoa-oh\/ Hallelujah (ooh, ooh), hallelujah,\u201d Lake and Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, sang in unison on the chorus of the track.<\/p>\n
