Hallelujah! The Power of the phrase
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of your song I wrote since it was " music of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I want to spend some time on this issue and check out the phrase "Hallelujah" in some depth.
Its etymology originates from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Strangely enough, it's a word that circumnavigates the planet and spans most languages. When translated, the term "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 on and also on that way. Therefore it is a thing whose four syllables have a similar meaning to the majority of of mankind. Repeat the word almost anywhere in Africa and they discover how you're feeling. Very few words translate this way. Consider the word "God". Even this word changes dramatically in its pronunciation and spelling in translation. "Hallelujah" is really universal.
haleluja - I understand 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, this is a gorgeous utterance to sing and when sung alone or encompassed by itself and repeated again and again oahu is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I have found that when I'm writing a sacred song and i'm most full of the spirit of God, these are the words that spill away from me again and again because the melodies pour through me from God. Again and again, "Hallelujah". It takes place so often i need to rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise most of my songs would sing just "Hallelujahs".
A person 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 at the singing of this great gift to mankind since the same word cascaded in the 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 inside a song that opened the performance from the Jenny Burton Experience which ran to out of stock audiences for over seven years within Nyc.
Let's move on using a Hallelujah
Let's start with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music in our lives
There is certainly music in the air everywhere
There's a spirit inside our lives
As well as the music and also the spirit is one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A straightforward statement, however with the weight and energy this amazing word you can be sure the audiences knew wherever i was choosing the inspirational aim of the performance. It set the spirit of the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly to the whole world of spiritual thought.
haleluja - Just what word but symbolic with an idea. These sounds that come away from our mouths represent concepts small or large. Repeat the word "streetcar" so we understand specifically what you mean. Repeat the word "God" and you'll have as numerous definitions of that word because you have listeners. But repeat the word "Hallelujah" and the world is suddenly all on a single page as well as in a way feeling and knowing the light that you are experiencing. It's a word that bears repetition, no, in fact, clamors for repetition, for to state it once isn't enough. It ought to be repeated and repeated inside 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 is at its best, within the moment when few other words suffice, for many people here on the earth, out pops the term "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and it is immediately understood deeply in the soul of most.
