Six babies were lost before they could even take a breath. That is the heavy secret Brandon Lake carried when he wrote his song, “Miracle Child.” The same hurt and feeling is carried in his song “Hard Fought Hallilujah.” His parents went through six miscarriages, and that deep pain became the seed for this song. This story makes the music feel very real to anyone currently walking through a dark time.
Brandon took this song to the 2025 Dove Awards stage. He was accompanied by Jon Batiste and Jelly Roll. The water falling on them showed what it looks like to trust God when life feels like it is drowning you. It was a beautiful way to show that faith can stay strong even in a fire.
