Song Spotlight – Tyrone Wells – All Broken Hearts

Tyrone Wells is a singer/ songwriter based out of Spokane, Washington. He’s an incredibly talented songwriter that has a certain truthfulness to every word he writes. Tyrone played a few songs at Cornerstone a few months back and it was a super encouraging time of worship. He played a small set of songs with only an acoustic guitar, and closed with this one. I have since become a big fan of all his work, but this song has stuck with me more than the rest. The lyrics are below, along with a link to check out the album this song is found on.

In just one moment I was gone
I always thought that I was strong
This hole inside me is the deepest canyon

I’m shattered pieces all alone
And I can’t make it on my own
I hear a melody come soft and slowly

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it’s tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

We hear it in a quiet song
We feel it in a mother’s arms
When we can’t find the words, it’s hallelujah

And when I close my eyes in death
When I breathe my final breath
The last word upon my tongue is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it’s tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

When my soul has finally flown
The moment I am welcomed home
The first song that I will sing is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it’s tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it’s tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts
