Kelley Mooney's spiritual lyrical adaptation of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"


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
