Fifth Capo. Standard Tuning
A prelude to our symphony;
The complete harmonious Trinity
Compose a holy anthem to His name
A million verses to the song,
But just one chorus building strong
A glorious refrain of Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The Song calls out and stars ignite,
Creation bathes in holy light.
You breathe Your image forth to join the tune.
But man rebels with awful cost;
His song cut short, the verses lost;
Searching for a broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
The distant tune is faintly heard,
And faithful men defend the words;
Heroes whom this world was not worthy.
Tortured, chained, and destitute,
Stoned, beheaded, sawn in two;
And on their lips a whispered hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
It echoes on through fire and sword,
A shepherd put the words to chord,
And verse by verse the song begins to swell.
It goes like this
the fourth the fifth The minor falls, the major lift,
A symphony awaits a hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
The ancient song descends as flesh,
To raise the pitch and compost the rest.
He climbs the cross and plunges to the graveâ¦
Through death and Hell and sin he bursts,
Our Perfect Bridge and Final Verse
The Risen King completing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The King prepares his final ride
To avenge His name and reclaim His bride;
When earth and heaven rise in perfect tune.
Further up and further in
Is where the real song begins,
When all the verses end in Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
