The world is a sad, lonely and broken place. It’s full of people who are hurting and struggling, hoping for anything to alleviate the pain. Sadly, these individuals will hunt and search everywhere for a solution. They may find a temporary fix, but soon enough, the pain and the heartache are back again.
There is an answer to all that pain and suffering: Jesus Christ. His healing, comfort, forgiveness and love will never wear off or fade away. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake discuss their song “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” In the short clip, Jelly Roll mentions how the song has impacted him and what he has continually heard from others.
“Like, everywhere I go, this is the song people are talking to me about right now,” Jelly Roll said. “It’s really cool, man, and I love the conversation it’s creating. Like, real conversations are being had online. Sometimes not fun, but sometimes great, right? It’s like, it’s like, here’s my deal: I think it’s our jobs, where in faith, to push that envelope anyways. Like those conversations needed to be created.”
Later in the clip, Jelly Roll says he knows how he and others are turning toward God in response to the song.
“But I can tell you what’s also happening is millions of people like me are finding a safe place right now in God,” he said. “You know what I mean? For sure, because I’m getting the messages that are like, ‘Yo, I’m like a fence-riding Christian, too. Like, I kind of believe. I grew up with some core values but kind of got away from it, and you make me feel safe being, like, talking about God again.’”
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before me, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
