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

"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
