Hallelujah - New Lyrics



I love the music of the song Hallelujah, but the lyrics are sad so I've rewritten them.

Hallelujah - The Love Song


Well, I heard there was a secret chord
To teach us love and it pleased the Lord
So I vowed to learn and tell the story to you.
Well it goes like this: you find your gift
And when you fall, you know you'll lift
The baffled girl composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, your faith was strong; despite the pain
Not for a moment did you complain
The sickness seeping, deeper and deeper through you
You smiled from your wheeled chair
You wrote a book of dreams you shared
And from your lips you still prayed Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Friends I've seen you here before
I've seen you cry as we've walked this floor
You know, I was alone before I knew you
And now we've grown as we embrace
We've learned to run a victory race
It's a warm and it's a lovely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well there's a time I know I'm blessed
I gaze upon my babes at rest
And know my love is more than I can tell you
I remember when the babe was you
And now you're grown and have one too
And every breath it's true is Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I know there is a God above
And all I've ever learned from love
Was how to find somebody who saw through you
To laugh and cry and hold at night
To find someone who's seen the light
It's a warm and it's a joyous Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Love your new lyrics...especially the verse about children having children. I sing hallelujuh as well!
