Music Monday: Hallelujah

Yesterday we finished the series on abortion and so it’s back to the regularly-scheduled posts. So, for today’s “Music Monday”, here is Peter Hollens and Jackie Evancho singing “Hallelujah”…

VERSE 1
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
You don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

CHORUS
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

VERSE 2
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Well she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah

VERSE 3
Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked the floor
used to live alone before I knew ya
But I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

VERSE 4
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not someone who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and broken Hallelujah
