La La La
Point Of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If a picture's worth a thousand words
What are they?
And since You're spirit intercedes for me
What do you hear when I pray?
'Cause I'm finding it hard to find the word
to let you know how my heart can hurt
so I'll sing the tune
and let you fill in the words

(Chorus)
La La La
La La La
La La La...

It's comforting to know
My words aren't all You hear
I can talk to You with laughter
And I can talk to you in tears
And I don't have to know just what to say
For You to hear me when I pray
So I'll sing a part and let you read my heart





(Repeat Chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Point of Grace's song "La La La" explore the idea of communication with a higher power. The first verse poses the question of what words are worth in comparison to a picture, and then asks what God hears when we pray. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and difficulty in expressing emotions and pain to God. The singer finds it challenging to put into words the hurt that is in their heart and instead relies on singing the melody and trusting that God will understand. The chorus repeats the phrase "La La La" as a way of emphasizing the idea that communication doesn't always require words. It conveys the idea that the singer is relying on a non-verbal expression of emotion to connect with God. The second verse reinforces this idea of communication without words, expressing relief and comfort that the singer doesn't have to know what to say for God to hear them. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea of finding comfort and connection through non-verbal communication.


Interestingly, the concept of "La La La" evokes a childlike simplicity that might be thought of as too simplistic for many religious songs. Nevertheless, the focus of the song moves away from formal language and brings the song back to a place of honesty and vulnerability, expressing something we all feel when we communicate with a higher power. The song itself is uplifting and positive while still being honest about the reality of life’s more difficult times.
