Hallelujah! The effectiveness of the Word
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of your song I wrote as it was " an audio lesson of largely just Hallelujahs". Today Let me take the time on this issue and check out the phrase "Hallelujah" in some depth.
Its etymology comes 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 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" and also on and on like this. Therefore it is anything whose four syllables mean the same thing to many of mankind. Repeat the word almost around Africa plus they understand how you're feeling. Hardly any words translate like that. Consider even the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in the pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is actually 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 flanked by itself and repeated repeatedly it is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I've found that whenever I'm writing a sacred song and I am most full of the spirit of God, these are the words that spill away from me repeatedly since the melodies pour through me from God. Over and over again, "Hallelujah". It occurs so frequently which i have to rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise nearly all of my songs would sing nothing but "Hallelujahs".
A man named George Fredric Handel put on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute to the birth of Christ inside the finale of his "Messiah". Who has not sat in wonder in the singing with this great gift to mankind since the same word cascaded from your choir?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For that Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
By no means comparing myself to Frederic Handel, I too used these words to great effect in a song that opened the performance with the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold-out audiences for upwards of seven years within New york.
Let's move on with a Hallelujah
Let's begin with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music in our lives
There's music in mid-air everywhere
There's a spirit inside our lives
And the music as well as the spirit are one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
An easy statement, though the body weight and power of this phenomenal word you can be sure the audiences knew in which we had been using the inspirational intention of the performance. It set the spirit from the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly into the arena of spiritual thought.
haleluja - Just what word but an emblem to have an idea. These sounds that can come from our mouths represent concepts large or small. Repeat the word "streetcar" so we understand specifically everything you mean. Repeat the word "God" you'll also find as much definitions of this word as you've listeners. But say the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all for a passing fancy page as well as in some way feeling and having the light that you will be experiencing. It's a word that bears repetition, no, actually, clamors for repetition, for to express it once just isn't enough. It should be repeated and repeated inside the wonder of God's grace and power, love, soul, and spirit. Oahu is the penultimate word within the human language in praise of God.
When life is at its best, within the moment when no other words suffice, for many people here on the earth, out pops the word "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and is immediately understood deeply within the soul of.
