Hallelujah! The effectiveness of the phrase
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of your song I wrote because it was " music of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I'd like to spend some time on this issue and check out the term "Hallelujah" in a few depth.
Its etymology originates from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Oddly enough, this is a word that circumnavigates the globe and spans most languages. When translated, the term "Hallelujah" (or sometimes "Alleluia") remains 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 as well as on like this. So it is anything whose four syllables mean the same thing to most of mankind. The word almost around Africa and so they know how you are feeling. Hardly any words translate like that. Consider the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in their pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is truly universal.
haleluja - I am aware 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 and when sung alone or surrounded by itself and repeated again and again it is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I have found that whenever I'm writing a sacred song and I am most filled up with the spirit of God, fundamental essentials words that spill from me over and over as the melodies pour through me from God. Over and over again, "Hallelujah". It happens so often that I need to rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise the majority of my songs would sing only "Hallelujahs".
A person named George Fredric Handel put on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute towards the birth of Christ inside the finale of his "Messiah". That has not sat in wonder in the singing of the great gift to mankind as 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 from the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold-out audiences for more than seven years here in New York City.
Let's begin using a Hallelujah
Let's start out with a Hallelujah

Hallelujah
There is music inside our lives
There's music in mid-air all around us
There is a spirit within our lives
As well as the music and also the spirit are certainly one
Hallelujah

An easy statement, but with the body weight and power this phenomenal word you can be certain the audiences knew in which we had been using 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 an emblem for an idea. These sounds which come away from our mouths represent concepts small or large. Repeat the word "streetcar" and we understand specifically everything you mean. The word "God" and you'll have as many definitions of this word as you have listeners. But repeat the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all on the same page plus a way 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 say it once 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 in the human language in praise of God.
When life's at its best, in the moment when few other words suffice, for most people here on this planet, out pops the phrase "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is also immediately understood deeply inside the soul of.
