Hallelujah! The strength of the phrase

haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of your song I wrote since it was " an audio lesson of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I want to spend some time with this issue and look at the phrase "Hallelujah" in certain depth.

Its etymology comes from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Strangely enough, this is a word that circumnavigates the planet and spans most languages. When translated, the word "Hallelujah" (or sometimes "Alleluia") continues to be 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" as well as on and on that way. So it's a thing whose four syllables mean the same thing to most of mankind. The word almost any place in Africa and so they know how you feel. Very few words translate like that. Consider perhaps the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in the pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is truly universal.

haleluja - I know of no other word in language or song that carries such joy, such celebration, such depth of spirit and soul. Using its four open vowels, it's a gorgeous utterance to sing so when sung alone or encompassed by itself and repeated repeatedly it is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I find that after I'm writing a sacred song that i'm most full of the spirit of God, these are the basic words that spill from me repeatedly as the melodies pour through me from God. Again and again, "Hallelujah". It occurs so often i have to rewrite the lyrics into other words, otherwise nearly all of my songs would sing just "Hallelujahs".

A person named George Fredric Handel used it to musically summarize his penultimate tribute to the birth of Christ within the finale of his "Messiah". Who may have not sat in wonder at the singing of this great gift to mankind because the same word cascaded from your choir?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For that Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Certainly not 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 out of stock audiences for upwards of seven years in New york.

Let's begin with a Hallelujah
Let's begin with a Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

There is music in our lives
There is certainly music in the air everywhere
There's a spirit inside our lives
As well as the music and also the spirit are certainly one

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

A straightforward statement, but with the weight and power this phenomenal word you can be certain the audiences knew exactly where i was choosing the inspirational intention of the performance. It set the spirit with the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly into the whole world of spiritual thought.

haleluja - What is a word but symbolic for an idea. These sounds that come from our mouths represent concepts large or small. The word "streetcar" and that we know exactly everything you mean. The word "God" you'll also find as numerous definitions of that word as you have listeners. But say the word "Hallelujah" and also the world is suddenly all on the same page as well as in some way feeling and having the light that you're experiencing. This is a word that bears repetition, no, actually, clamors for repetition, for to state it once just isn't enough. It must 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 is at its best, within the moment when few other words suffice, for most of us here in the world, out pops the term "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is immediately understood deeply in the soul of all.
