Grammy winner Lauren Daigle just released a new song she wrote eight years ago.
She created “Let It Be A Hallelujah” with the late Busbee and Jonas Myrin.
“Eight years have passed since we wrote this song, a lot has happened since then,” Daigle said. “I’m so grateful to have this song back in my life at this time, because had it been released after we’d written it, I wouldn’t have really understood it. The one thing that I can and will keep coming back to is that living a life of worship has never failed me.”
Daigle announced the single on her social media on July 31.
She said, “Years ago, in the writing cycle between ‘How Can It Be’ and ‘Look Up Child,’ I remember this gem ‘Let It Be a Hallelujah’ landing in the land of Dropbox and never making its way to my record. Fast forward years and years later, I truly believe that God had an incredible design filled with intention behind why this song wasn’t brought forth into the world in the season in which we wrote it.”
“This song was savored and salvaged for a time when my life needed to intersect with it,” she continued. “It compells [sic] me to believe that from any place high or low, triumphant or troublesome, praise can live on our lips and in our spirit. I think Paul taught us the extravagant resilience of being content in all things. This song is the reminder of this truth. ‘Let It Be a Hallelujah’ is out now! ❤️”
The song is about honoring God with one’s life. It’s full of praise to God. Some of the song’s lyrics are “With every breath that’s in me / With every song and melody / Let it be a hallelujah.”
Daigle shared about writing the song with Busbee, who passed away in 2019 from a fast-growing brain tumor called glioblastoma. Busbee was diagnosed around the time of writing that song.
“I just think it’s gonna be cool to be able to give his family something, which is really special, and we’re celebrating the 10 year anniversary of ‘How Can It Be?’ and this was like, written kind of in that season,” Daigle shared July 31.
Daigle is currently on tour and just performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Her next stop is in West Virginia on Aug. 14.
