The Real Hallelujah

To the tune of a well known song in the charts at the moment, but more Jeff Buckley than Alexandra Burke. Words © Peter Holloway 2009

God with man in the cool of day
Walking in the garden made
The glory of communion, Hallelujah!
God made man to walk with God
To fellowship with his Lord
To worship and adore Him, Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Then sin came in and all was lost
Separation was the cost
But God is God and loves us, Hallelujah!
He sent His Son to seek the lost
To bear their sin upon the cross
To raise them and restore them, Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

To all who trust in Jesus Christ
And in the cross where He paid the price
He offers restoration, Hallelujah!
To walk with God and talk once more
To fellowship as we did before
To worship and adore Him, Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Soon Christ will come to claim His own
To bring them to their heavenly home
To live with Him forever, Hallelujah!
And heaven with His praise will ring
And angel voice with men will sing
We worship and adore You, Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
