Hallelujah! The strength of the term

haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of the song I wrote as it was " a song of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I'd like to take a moment with this issue and look at the term "Hallelujah" in certain depth.

Its etymology comes from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Oddly enough, it's 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" as well as on and also on that way. So it's a word whose four syllables mean the same thing to most of mankind. Repeat the word almost anywhere in Africa plus they discover how you feel. Not many words translate that way. Consider perhaps the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in its pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is really universal.

haleluja - I am aware of few other word in language or song that carries such joy, such celebration, such depth of spirit and soul. Having its four open vowels, it's a gorgeous utterance to sing so when sung alone or flanked by itself and repeated repeatedly it is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I've found that when I'm writing a sacred song and I am most filled up with the spirit of God, these are the basic words that spill out of me over and over because the melodies pour through me from God. Over and over again, "Hallelujah". It takes place so often i must rewrite the lyrics into short, otherwise most of my songs would sing nothing but "Hallelujahs".

A man named George Fredric Handel put on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute towards 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 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 a song that opened the performance from the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold-out audiences for over seven years in New York City.

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

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

There is music inside our lives
There's music in the air all over
There is a spirit in our lives
And also the music and also the spirit is one

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

An easy statement, but with the load and energy this unique word you can be certain the audiences knew wherever we were going with the inspirational goal of the performance. It set the spirit of the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly into the realm of spiritual thought.

haleluja - Just what word but symbolic to have an idea. These sounds which come from our mouths represent concepts large or small. The word "streetcar" so we understand specifically everything you mean. Repeat the word "God" you'll also find as many definitions of this word as you have listeners. But repeat the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all on a single page and in one method or another feeling and understanding the light that you're experiencing. It's a word that bears repetition, no, in fact, clamors for repetition, for to express it once is not enough. It must be repeated and repeated inside the wonder of God's grace and power, love, soul, and spirit. Oahu is the penultimate word inside the human language in praise of God.

When life is at its best, inside the moment when no other words suffice, for many people here on this planet, out pops the term "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is also immediately understood deeply in the soul of.
