Hallelujah! The effectiveness of the phrase
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of the song I wrote as it was " an audio lesson of largely just Hallelujahs". Today I'd like to take the time about this issue and check out the phrase "Hallelujah" in a few depth.
Its etymology originates from the Hebrew and means "Praise Jah" or "Praise God". Oddly enough, this is a word that circumnavigates the world and spans most languages. When translated, the word "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 like that. Therefore it is anything whose four syllables mean the same thing to many of mankind. Repeat the word almost around Africa and they understand how you are feeling. Very few words translate like that. Consider perhaps 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. Having its four open vowels, this is a gorgeous utterance to sing so when sung alone or surrounded by itself and repeated again and again it's the epitome word of celebration in human language. I have found that after I'm writing a sacred song and I am most full of the spirit of God, fundamental essentials words that spill away from me again and again because the melodies pour through me from God. Repeatedly, "Hallelujah". It happens frequently which i must rewrite the lyrics into simple terms, otherwise the majority 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 may have not sat in wonder in the singing of this 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!
By no means comparing myself to Frederic Handel, I too used these words to great effect inside a song that opened the performance of The Jenny Burton Experience which ran to sold out audiences for over seven years in Nyc.
Let's begin using a Hallelujah
Let's start with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music in our lives
There's music in the air all around us
There exists a spirit within our lives
And also the music as well as the spirit are one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A simple statement, however with the load and energy this phenomenal word it is certain the audiences knew in which i was choosing the inspirational aim of the performance. It set the spirit with 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 which come from our mouths represent concepts large or small. Say the word "streetcar" and that we understand specifically what you mean. Repeat the word "God" and you'll have as much definitions of that word because you have listeners. But repeat the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all on the same page as well as in some way feeling and understanding the light that you are experiencing. This is a word that bears repetition, no, in fact, clamors for repetition, for to state it once isn't enough. It should be repeated and repeated inside the wonder of God's grace and power, love, soul, and spirit. It is the penultimate word within the human language in praise of God.
When every day life is at its best, within the moment when no 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 also immediately understood deeply within the soul of most.
