Ben Cantelon - Hallelujah Lyrics

Hallelujah is a short, repeated praise song that calls a congregation to lift up the name of Jesus. The opening lines say "Hallelujah" and declare that He is worthy of praise, and the next section repeats a prayer that He be high and lifted up, building through four identical lines. A single line names Jesus and the closing section says it is Him who is glorified and lifted high, and that His name is to be glorified.

The wording echoes Revelation 4:11 on the worthiness of the Lord to receive glory and honor, Isaiah 6:1 where the Lord is seen high and lifted up, and Psalm 34:3 on magnifying the Lord and exalting His name together. The minimal text, short phrases and repetition make it easy for a large group to learn quickly, and the tone is simple, reverent and focused entirely on lifting the name of Jesus in worship, with room for extended singing.
