1 Sam 16:22-23

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 fall, the major lift The baffled king composingHallelujah

2 Sm 11:1-3; Jgs 16:4-5, 15-19

Your faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew youShe tied youTo a kitchen chairShe broke your throne, and she cut your hairAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Ex 20:7

You say I took the name in vain 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 every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hidden Meanings

I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come all this way to fool you.

Yeah even though it all went wrong I'll stand right here before the Lord of SongWith nothing on my lips but Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
