Hallelujah! The effectiveness of the term
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of a song I wrote since it was " music of largely just Hallelujahs". Today Let me take a moment about this issue and consider the term "Hallelujah" in a few depth.
Its etymology comes from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Strangely enough, it's a word that circumnavigates the world and spans most languages. When translated, the word "Hallelujah" (or sometimes "Alleluia") continues to be the same: In Spanish it's "Aleluya", in Finnish and German it's "Haleluja", in French it's "Alleluia", in Estonian it's "Haleluuja", in Icelandic it's Halleluja, in Slovak it's "Aleluia" and also on and also on that way. Therefore it is a word whose four syllables mean the same thing to many of mankind. Say the word almost anywhere in Africa and so they discover how you're feeling. Hardly any words translate like that. Consider the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in the pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is really universal.
haleluja - I know of not one other word in language or song that carries such joy, such celebration, such depth of spirit and soul. With its four open vowels, this is a gorgeous utterance to sing when sung alone or flanked by itself and repeated repeatedly it's the epitome word of celebration in human language. I've found that when I'm writing a sacred song and I am most full of the spirit of God, these are the words that spill from me repeatedly as the melodies pour through me from God. Again and again, "Hallelujah". It takes place so frequently i have to rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise the majority of my songs would sing just "Hallelujahs".
A guy named George Fredric Handel put on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute for the birth of Christ within the finale of his "Messiah". Who may have not sat in wonder on the singing of the great gift to mankind because the same word cascaded from the choir?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
By no means comparing myself to Frederic Handel, I too used these words to great effect in the song that opened the performance with the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold out audiences for over seven years in New york.
Let's start having a Hallelujah
Let's start out with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There is music within our lives
There is certainly music in mid-air all over
There is a spirit within our lives
And also the music as well as the spirit are certainly one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A simple statement, however with the body weight and power this amazing word you can be sure the audiences knew exactly where i was choosing the inspirational goal of the performance. It set the spirit with the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly to the arena of spiritual thought.
haleluja - What is a word but symbolic with an idea. These sounds that come out of our mouths represent concepts small or large. Repeat the word "streetcar" and that we know exactly what you mean. Repeat the word "God" and you'll have as many definitions of the word as you've listeners. But the word "Hallelujah" and the world is suddenly all on the same page and in one method or another feeling and knowing the light that you will be experiencing. This is a word that bears repetition, no, in reality, clamors for repetition, for to state it once just isn't enough. It ought to be repeated and repeated within the wonder of God's grace and power, love, soul, and spirit. It's the penultimate word within the human language in praise of God.
When life's at its best, in the moment when not one other words suffice, for most people here on the earth, out pops the term "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is immediately understood deeply within the soul of.
