An unlikely duo—Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake—join together on Lake’s new version of “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” which will release at the beginning of February.
“I’ll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah,” the lyrics include.
Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake Record New Version of ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’
From being a drug dealer to now being one of country music’s biggest stars and receiving three trophies at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, Jelly Roll admitted that he had been writing and recording music for years before he was recognized in 2021. A transformation continues to unfold in his life and music career—before the public eye.

“It wasn’t, like, something I did on the side,” Jelly Roll said. “Like, it was my job. And I just always had faith that God had a bigger purpose for what I was trying to do.”
Breaking into the Christian music scene hasn’t been easy for Jelly Roll, but his honesty is welcomed as he sings “songs of the broken.” Christian artist Anne Wilson joined him on stage for a duet singing his hit, “Save Me.”
Jelly Roll now joins singer-songwriter Brandon Lake on an upcoming release of Lake’s hit, “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” When the song was first released in November 2024, it broke “genre history streams in seven days on multiple charts.”
Known for “Gratitude” and “Graves Into Gardens,” Lake has topped CCM and Billboard charts numerous times with dozens of awards and countless nominations—all with just four recorded studio albums.
“I am blown away by the response this song has received in such a short time,” says Lake. “It’s insane to see what God can do with just one song. My prayer is that this song reminds everyone who our God is—a ‘mountain movin,’ body raising, breaker of chains!'”
