Rend Collective is a prolific worship music team from Northern Ireland. They recently released a new album, Whosoever, and I'm particularly taken by its upbeat Celtic folk/pop song "Hallelujah Anyway". It'd work well for an offertory or even a corporately-sung song. Lyrics below.
I'll find a way to praise You
From the bottom of my broken heart
'Cause I think I'd rather strike a match than curse the dark
Yeah, I'll find a way to thank You
Though the bitterness is real and hard
'Cause I'd rather take a chance on hope than fall apart
I don't think I'm ready to surrender to the dark, no
Even if my daylight never dawns
Even if my breakthrough never comes
Even if I'll fight to bring You praise
Even if my dreams fall to the ground
Even if I'm lost, I know I'm found
Even if my heart will somehow say
Hallelujah anyway
Yeah, I hear a hymn of triumph
In the wilderness of my lament
In the lowlands or the mountain tops, I won't forget
All that goodness that You have shown me
The promises that You have kept
There's better days on the horizon up ahead
All c'mon, now
Let it rise
Let it rise
In the dark or the wild
Oh, my soul stands by
If you got a soul then sing let it rise
