Hallelujah - Easter version by Kelley Mooney
Lyrics To Hallelujah by Kelly Mooney Adapted to the music of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah
A crown of thorns placed on His head He knew that He would soon be dead He said did you forget me Father did you? They nailed Him to a wooden cross Soon all the world would feel the loss Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah
Hallelujah x4
He hung His head and prepared to die Then lifted His face up to the sky Said I am coming home now Father to you A reed which held His final sip Was gently lifted to his lips He drank His last and gave His soul to glory
Hallelujah x4
The soldier who had used his sword To pierce the body of our Lord Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior He looked with fear upon his sword Then turned to face his Christ and Lord Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah
Hallelujah x4
Took from his head the thorny crown And wrapped him in a linen gown And laid him down to rest inside the tomb The holes in his hands, his feet and side Now in our hearts we know he died To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah
Hallelujah x4
Three days went by again they came To move the stone to bless the slain With oil and spice anointing hallelujah But as they went to move the stone They saw that they were not alone But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah
Hallelujah x4 Hallelujah x4
The childrens' choir performance on this video which has nearly 600,000 YouTube views is just wonderful!
Blessed Easter season to all you FReepers!
I used to be a big Jeff Buckley fan, and for some reason the remakes of “halleluah” just irks me.

Thanks for posting ~ beautiful.
What a voice! Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you, Greyfoxx, for sharing this. I hope you are doing well these days.
I have always loved the original music of this song, but the message as written is disappointingly secular.

Leonard Cohen is Jewish, so it would have been odd for him to pen an Easter tune.
Yes.
