iuliathe3rd This song has become a huge comfort to me. Whenever I feel sad and alone, when it feels like I'm being crushed by the weight of my worries, I listen to this. It's like having your friend by your side holding your hand, saying, "Hey, it's gonna be okay. You're not alone."

about

The world is full of chaos. And brokenness. And heartbreak. It's easy to become discouraged and to feel like things won't get any better. But hope exists. And it's often a choice. Despite the darkness, love and light are there, waiting for us if we'll only choose to embrace them. Jess Pillay's debut single "Hymn for the Broken Hearted" was written as an anthem of encouragement for anyone who feels lost, alone, forgotten, or broken. When you find yourself in a place of despair, don't lose sight. Take heart. Lift your head and keep climbing. Because you're not alone, and you will face tomorrow.

lyrics

This is a hymn for the broken hearted
This is a song for the wounded soul
For anyone who’s ever doubted
All the ones who’ve let go

I know you think you’ve been forgotten
Maybe you think you’re on your own
You gave up long before you started
But it’s time for you to know...

That you’re not alone
You’re not alone
Come on, take my hand, and say goodbye
To all the things that leave you high and dry
So we can go and face tomorrow

It seems the world is getting colder
You’re fighting hard to find your place
You’re weighted down by what you shoulder
But it’s time for you to face…

That you’re not alone
You’re not alone
Come on, take my hand, and say goodbye
To all the things that leave you high and dry
So we can go and face tomorrow

Though the road keeps stretching onwards
And it feels like an uphill climb
The finish line may not be near
But you are breathing still
So don’t lose sight
You’ll be alright

‘Cause you’re not alone
You’re not alone
Come on, take my hand, and say goodbye
To all the things that leave you high and dry
So we can go and face tomorrow
