Sweet Tea Hallelujah (Christian Country) - Caroline Wilson

[Verse 1]
I grew up sayin’ grace on a tailgate
Red dirt on my Sunday shoes
Mama hummin’ old hymns in the kitchen
Fryin’ chicken
Preachin’ good news
I’ve been stubborn as July heat
Still You never turned from me
You met me in my mess and my blue jeans
Right there on that gravel street

[Chorus]
Sweet tea hallelujah
You turned my bitter into bloom
From broken back roads
To a front row in this room
I was runnin’ in circles
You were sittin’ on the porch lightin’ up my view
Sweet tea hallelujah
I raise my glass and my hands to You

[Verse 2]
I’ve said prayers that smelled like smoke
Cryin’ in a rusted truck
Thought I’d gone too far this time
Way past any kind of love
But You pour mercy like it’s summertime
Refills I don’t deserve
Every scar
Every wrong turn
You stirred into something worth

[Chorus]
Sweet tea hallelujah
You turned my bitter into bloom
From broken back roads
To a front row in this room
I was runnin’ in circles
You were sittin’ on the porch lightin’ up my view
Sweet tea hallelujah
I raise my glass and my hands to You

[Bridge]
From the pine-line fields
To the small-town steeple (yeah)
You were in my story
Long before I knew
If there’s breath in my lungs
I’ll be that girl sayin’ (thank You, thank You)
For every little thing You do

[Chorus]
Sweet tea hallelujah
You turned my bitter into bloom
From broken back roads
To a front row in this room
I was runnin’ in circles
You were sittin’ on the porch lightin’ up my view
Sweet tea hallelujah
I raise my glass and my hands to You
Sweet tea hallelujah
Every sunrise I’ll sing it to You (oh yeah)
