Hallelujah! The strength of the phrase
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of a song I wrote since it was " an audio lesson of largely just Hallelujahs". Today Let me take the time with this issue and consider the word "Hallelujah" in certain depth.
Its etymology is from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Interestingly enough, it's a word that circumnavigates the planet 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 on as well as on that way. So it's a thing whose four syllables have a similar meaning to many of mankind. The word almost any place in Africa and they know how you feel. Not many words translate this way. Consider the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in their pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is actually universal.
haleluja - I understand of few 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 surrounded by itself and repeated repeatedly oahu is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I find that when I'm writing a sacred song and I am most filled with the spirit of God, fundamental essentials words that spill out of me repeatedly as the melodies pour through me from God. Again and again, "Hallelujah". It occurs so frequently which i need to rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise nearly all of my songs would sing just "Hallelujahs".
A man 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 in the singing with this great gift to mankind since 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 the song that opened the performance from the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold-out audiences for over seven years within New york.
Let's start having a Hallelujah
Let's start out with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music within our lives
There is music in the air all around us
There exists a spirit inside our lives
And also the music and the spirit are one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
An easy statement, however with the weight and power this unique word it is certain the audiences knew in which i was going with the inspirational aim of the performance. It set the spirit of 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 that can come out of our mouths represent concepts big or small. Repeat the word "streetcar" and that we know exactly that which you mean. Repeat the word "God" and you will have as much definitions of the word as you have listeners. But say the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all for a passing fancy page and in one method or another feeling and knowing the light that you will be experiencing. It is a word that bears repetition, no, in reality, 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. It is the penultimate word in the human language in praise of God.
When life's at its best, within the moment when not one other words suffice, for many people here on this planet, out pops the phrase "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is immediately understood deeply in the soul of.
