Even When It Hurts (Praise Song)
Words and Music by Joel Houston

VERSE 1:
Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in Your love
Come like grace again

CHORUS 1:
Even when my strength is lost
I’ll praise You
Even when I have no song
I’ll praise You
Even when it’s hard to find the words
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise

POST CHORUS:
I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise

VERSE 2:
Take this mountain weight
Take these ocean tears
Hold me through the trial
Come like hope again

CHORUS 2:
Even when the fight seems lost
I’ll praise You
Even when it hurts like hell
I’ll praise You
Even when it makes no sense to sing
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise

BRIDGE:
And my heart burns only for You
You are all You are all I want
And my soul waits only for You
And I will sing till the morning has come
Lord my heart burns only for You
You are all You are all I want
And my soul
waits only for You
And I will sing till the miracle comes

CHORUS 3:
Even when the morning comes
I’ll praise You
Even when the fight is won
I’ll praise You
Even when my time on earth is done
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise

Following the journey of the song through the first four times we ever played it live, from studio to arena— There is a parallel to be found within the narrative of seasons and days, the constant-unpredictibility of life, and the unchanging, unfailing nature of God and His faithfulness — and what singing His praises unlocks in us. In this journey, the song serves as the constant and honest-confession within us, as the environment and atmosphere changes like the seasons come-and-go around us.

Even When it Hurts is a Praise Song – not exactly in the new-traditional happy-clappy-Sunday-morning sense — no, this is the kind written to sound its loudest in the cold-lonely-silence of the darkest night, or the heart-drenched-desperation of the heaviest of tears. It's a song that finds it’s voice in the moments and seasons where to all common sense and logic, to sing, and be thankful for anything at all, let alone sing a song of praise to God, makes no sense at all - when the fight seems lost and all strength gone with it - when it's hard to even find the words -- louder then, this is that kind of praise song.

++++

if there is anything to be taken from our own hardship and God’s grace and compassion toward us — and even if we are still waiting in our own difficult night for the morning to come, there is perhaps nothing more powerful that we could do, than to take our focus off ourselves, and help others who are suffering. Together we are believing that our generosity, will ring even louder than our song, and will tangibly become the miracle to the desperate plight and prayers and of so many who have lost everything - It’s impossible to fathom the enormity of the crisis, and the turmoil people have been through, and are going through - forced to flee the oppression and war-ravaged-hell-on-earth they once called home, and the daunting uncertainty of all that is before them.

Three years ago I commented on this video about how my wife and I wanted to have children but have been unsuccessful. This song was a perfect depiction of what was happening in our hearts. I am pleased to announce that 1 week and 2 days ago, my wife and I adopted a baby girl. God is so good! His will is good and he is always deserving of our praise! Love you guys! Thanks to everyone who prayed for my wife and I. Her name is Alice Diana Ray!

I lost my 19 month old baby. I sang this song at his funeral. God is good, even when we can’t understand.

I’m 16 and Im struggling with depression, anxiety & an addiction to smoking weed. Today was the first day going to church in a few months.. and I’m so lost and I pray to find myself and God. Please pray for me.

I don’t understand His plans right now, but I will always praise Him.

[clarisjoy]

Dear... Whoever is reading this I just want to let you know that you have what it takes to overcome any obstacles in your way. Don't listen to the negativity around you, don't look at your circumstances, don't listen to the voice of fear but trust God with all your heart. Submit your all to Him and He will come through for you, because He is greater and stronger than your fear, circumstances or the negativity around you!. Don’t let your heart be troubled. Don’t give up. God is in control!.💛

Lost my mother this week. I'm here because God is always Good. Peace love and light to all

[Sigurd-cd]

My son died in a motorcycle accident seven months ago. A school bus took his right of way. He was 27. This song was the opening song at his funeral service. It is forever linked to him. I shed tears every time I hear it. At the same time, I praise the Lord because I know that Max and I are safe in his arms and that He is our refuge. Even when it hurts...

[kinggator]

So far I'm 42 days without alcohol. And I feel better since then

[elizarvakabua]

Is there anyone still listening to this beautiful song with me on 2024.?

[natashambalidingiso]

The part where she sang: "Even when the fight seems lost, I'll praise you" just confirmed that even during this corona virus outbreak in the world God still got us and he shall deliver us through it all!!

I shall not be moved because greater is he that is within us than he that is in the world!

[madupascal-rhqb]

I'm crying here alone in my room, Lord please help me and my brother overcome these obstacles.

[geraldymarciano]

I'm 3 days clean from meth addictions, and even I've got so many demons around me I believe He's holding my hands and I ALWAYS SEEK YOUR FACE...

[FranciscoGomez-ftem]

For everyone who need this as a reminder:

God gives the most difficult battles to his strongest soldiers. Bless you😊

[danigray]

I came here to listen to the song with tears because I had such a rough day. And then after the song I scrolled down to the comments section and I felt the LORD reminding me that we are His sons and daughters and we are loved. No sickness, disease, heartache, bad day, death, demon, whatever it is that hurts us, none and absolutely none of it will ever separate us from God's love! He loves us even when it hurts, He loves us on our highest mountains and He loves us when we are in the lowest of valleys. I thank Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross because though we were deserving of death he gave us every good gift instead, He gave us life! Praise His Holy name!

[gisillegulay]

Life is so hard right now. My mind is bombarded with burdens from family problems, pressures as a student and financial resources. I just want to cry.

[sherriwpb]

I recently lost my husband to cancer. We were together for 37 years. I have played this song over and again.

[DemiandDavid]

Today I went to church after 5 years of not attending and today I seeked God after 13 years of not calling out to him. These songs have grounded me back to him, it feels so good to come back to him. I know that he will bless me and all will turn out well.

[Lostsheep]

Im going through break up and depression😢 Brothers and sisters please pray for me🥺

[marlafrange]

Our faith doesn't make us invincible to pain, but it allows us to cling to God-- who can ultimately take that pain and turn it into growth, into learning, into meaning. Hold on, guys. You're not alone ❤
