"Hallelujah"


Have you heard the contemporary song, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen?  I love it!  K D Lang sang it at the 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremony. 
Listen to the words, as well as the music.  The composer & many other artists have also sung "Hallelujah".  K D Lang touches my heart & she touches God's heart, & that's all that really matters.  The rest is up to God!  To hear this song, go to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVq0L4kkpKM OR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e26D3w5Glqk&feature=related .

Here's what Leonard Cohen said about his song:
"It's, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way, but with enthusiasm, with emotion ... It's a rather joyous song ... I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view ... It's the notion that there is no perfection - that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything.  On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances."  {Leonard Cohen}

Mary Hardin Vaught
