The phrase “Allelujah between tears” is not a direct biblical quotation, but it captures the deeply biblical concept of offering praise and maintaining faith in God amidst suffering and sorrow. This act of “sacrificial praise” is an intentional choice of the will that can transform one’s perspective and invite God’s presence and peace into difficult situations.
