Hallelujah! The strength of the term
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of the song I wrote because it was " an audio lesson of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I'd like to spend some time on this issue and consider the term "Hallelujah" in a few depth.
Its etymology is from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Strangely enough, it is a word that circumnavigates the world and spans most languages. When translated, the phrase "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 that. So it's a word whose four syllables have a similar meaning to many of mankind. The word almost around Africa and they discover how you're feeling. Hardly any words translate like that. Consider the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in its pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is truly 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. Having its four open vowels, it is a gorgeous utterance to sing and when sung alone or encompassed by itself and repeated repeatedly it is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I find that when I'm writing a sacred song that i'm most filled up with the spirit of God, fundamental essentials words that spill out of me again and again since the melodies pour through me from God. Again and again, "Hallelujah". It occurs so often which i have to rewrite the lyrics into other words, otherwise nearly all of my songs would sing nothing but "Hallelujahs".
A guy named George Fredric Handel put on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute for the birth of Christ in the finale of his "Messiah". That has not sat in wonder on the singing of the great gift to mankind as the same word cascaded from your choir?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
In no way comparing myself to Frederic Handel, I too used these words to great effect in the song that opened the performance of The Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold out audiences for more than seven years here in Nyc.
Let's start with a Hallelujah
Let's start with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music inside our lives
There is music in the air all around us
There exists a spirit in our lives
As well as the music and also the spirit are certainly one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A simple statement, though the body weight and power this unique word you can be sure the audiences knew wherever i was using the inspirational intention of the performance. It set the spirit with the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly in to the whole world of spiritual thought.
haleluja - Exactly what is a word but symbolic to have an idea. These sounds that can come from our mouths represent concepts small or large. Say the word "streetcar" and we understand specifically everything you mean. Say the word "God" and you'll have as much definitions of the word because you have listeners. But repeat the word "Hallelujah" and also the world is suddenly all for a passing fancy page as well as in one method or another feeling and knowing the light that you are experiencing. It's a word that bears repetition, no, in fact, clamors for repetition, for to express 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. Oahu is the penultimate word in the human language in praise of God.
When life's at its best, inside the moment when no other words suffice, for most people here on the earth, out pops the word "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is also immediately understood deeply in the soul of.
