Hallelujah! The Power of the term
haleluja - A minister I knew once questioned the depth or "the soul" of your song I wrote as it was " a song of largely just Hallelujahs". Today Let me take the time about this issue and check out the phrase "Hallelujah" in some 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 phrase "Hallelujah" (or sometimes "Alleluia") continues to be 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 on like this. Therefore it is a word whose four syllables have a similar meaning to many of mankind. Repeat the word almost any place in Africa and they know how you feel. Not many 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 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, it is a gorgeous utterance to sing when sung alone or surrounded by itself and repeated again and again oahu is the epitome word of celebration in human language. I've found that when I'm writing a sacred song and I am most filled up with the spirit of God, fundamental essentials words that spill out of me over and over since the melodies pour through me from God. Repeatedly, "Hallelujah". It happens frequently which i need to rewrite the lyrics into other words, otherwise nearly all of my songs would sing only "Hallelujahs".
A person named George Fredric Handel tried on the extender to musically summarize his penultimate tribute to the birth of Christ in the finale of his "Messiah". Who has not sat in wonder on the singing of this great gift to mankind because the same word cascaded in the 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 inside a song that opened the performance of The Jenny Burton Experience which ran to out of stock audiences for upwards of seven years here in New York City.
Let's begin having a Hallelujah
Let's start with a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There's music in our lives
There is music in the air all around us
There is a spirit within our lives
And also the music as well as the spirit are certainly one
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
An easy statement, but with the body weight and power this amazing word you can be sure the audiences knew in which we were choosing the inspirational aim of the performance. It set the spirit with the evening in stone and launched us cleanly and clearly in to the realm of spiritual thought.
haleluja - Just what word but an emblem to have an idea. These sounds that can come out of our mouths represent concepts small or large. The word "streetcar" and we understand specifically that which you mean. The word "God" you'll also find as much definitions of that word as you have listeners. But say the word "Hallelujah" as well as the world is suddenly all on the same page as well as in one method or another feeling and having the light that you are experiencing. It is a word that bears repetition, no, actually, clamors for repetition, for to state it once isn't enough. It ought to be repeated and repeated in 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 most people here in the world, out pops the term "Hallelujah". This elegant and universal utterance captures the essence of celebration and it is immediately understood deeply inside the soul of.
