Hallelujah | Leonard Cohen / R. Emerson | From "Shrek" | Choir & Piano w/ Lyrics | Sunday 7pm Choir

Details

Description

"Hallelujah" is a beautiful song written by Leonard Cohen and covered by many musicians over the years. While the word Hallelujah (which means “praise Yah”/ YHWH) does mean to praise God, the overall song is secular in nature. We're sharing our version of this song to hopefully move people to learn more about the Lord and to also bring comfort to those who would like to listen to this song during times of pain and suffering.

Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir in Ajax, Ontario Canada. Thanks for listening and hope to see you at Mass one Sunday evening soon!

Lyrics:

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
though I don't even know the name,
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light in ev'ry word
it doesn't matter what you heard,
the holy or the broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
