Lyrics to Hallelujah by Kelly Mooney
Adapted to the music of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah
[Intro]
C ..... Am ..... C ..... Am .....
[Verse]
C Am
A crown of thorns placed on His head
C Am
He knew that He would soon be dead
F G C G
He said did you forget me Father did you?
C F G
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
Am F
Soon all the world would feel the loss
G E Am
Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
[Verse]
C Am
He hung His head and prepared to die
C Am
Then lifted His face up to the sky
F G C G
Said I am coming home now Father to you
C F G
A reed which held His final sip
Am F
Was gently lifted to his lips
G E Am
He drank His last and gave His soul to glory
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
[Verse]
C Am
The soldier who had used his sword
C Am
To pierce the body of our Lord
F G C G
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
C F G
He looked with fear upon his sword
Am F
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
G E Am
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
[Verse]
C Am
Took from his head the thorny crown
C Am
And wrapped him in a linen gown
F G C G
And laid him down to rest inside the tomb
C F G
The holes in his hands, his feet and side
Am F
Now in our hearts we know he died
G E Am
To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
[Verse]
C Am
Three days went by again they came
C Am
To move the stone to bless the slain
F G C G
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
C F G
But as they went to move the stone
Am F
They saw that they were not alone
G E Am
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-----------jah
