The Worship Initiative + Shane & Shane + Josh Cleopa - Hallelujah's Song (Psalm 103) Lyrics
Lyrics
Bless the Lord oh my soul
All my inmost being praise His name
Bless the Lord oh my soul
And forget not how good He is
Hallelujah's song is deep inside of my bones
Hallelujah comes up from my silos
Oh my soul
Let it go
Praise the Lord all ye heavenly hosts
Oh sing it loud with us His name
Praise the Lord all around the world
Oh sing of his works by praising His name
Again and again and again and again and again
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
The mercy of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
The mercy of the Lord
As far the east is from the west
The mercy of the Lord
As high as the Heavens above our head
Hallelujah's song is deep
(Everlasting to everlasting)
Inside of my bones
Hallelujah comes (everlasting to everlasting)
Up from my silos
Oh my soul
You gotta let it go

Meaning & Inspiration
The Worship Initiative, a collective known for its commitment to crafting songs that resonate with biblical truth, delivers a powerful rendition of "Hallelujah's Song (Psalm 103)" as part of their 2022 release, *The Worship Initiative, Vol. 29*. This track, featuring the rich vocal harmonies of Shane & Shane and the distinctive touch of Josh Cleopa, is far more than just a worship song; it’s a vibrant musical exposition of one of the Old Testament’s most jubilant psalms. The genesis of "Hallelujah's Song" lies squarely in Psalm 103, a psalm King David penned to extol God's boundless mercy, forgiveness, and steadfast love. The lyrics poetically translate the psalm's core message, urging the soul to "Bless the Lord" and to actively remember His goodness. The central theme, woven throughout the song and echoing the psalm's recurring emphasis, is the everlasting and immeasurable mercy of God. This isn't a fleeting emotion but an eternal attribute, declared as being "from everlasting to everlasting" and as vast as the distance between east and west, and as high as the heavens. This profound theological truth, that God's mercy is an unending fountain, forms the bedrock of the song's spiritual depth.
The performance itself amplifies the profound message of Psalm 103, translating the ancient text into a contemporary expression of praise. The repeated invocation, "Hallelujah's song is deep inside of my bones," speaks to an internalization of God's grace, moving beyond mere intellectual assent to a visceral, deeply ingrained recognition of His work. This echoes the biblical imperative to let God's word dwell richly within us, as seen in Colossians 3:16. The lyrical invitation for "Hallelujah [to] come[s] up from my silos," suggests breaking down internal barriers and allowing God's praise to flow unhindered, much like the psalmist implores his soul to "forget not all His benefits" (Psalm 103:2). The inclusion of the heavenly hosts in the praise, a direct nod to Psalm 103:20, broadens the scope of adoration, reminding listeners that worship is a cosmic undertaking, not confined to human experience. The relentless repetition of "Again and again and again" emphasizes the continuous and ceaseless nature of God's redemptive actions and the ongoing need for our praise. The scriptural underpinnings are evident throughout, with the song directly drawing from the core declarations of Psalm 103 regarding God's forgiveness of sin (Psalm 103:3), His healing (Psalm 103:3), His unfailing love and compassion (Psalm 103:8), and His justice (Psalm 103:6). Ultimately, "Hallelujah's Song (Psalm 103)" by The Worship Initiative, Shane & Shane, and Josh Cleopa serves as a profound and inspiring musical meditation on the inexhaustible mercy of God, calling listeners to an unreserved and deeply felt outpouring of praise that acknowledges His eternal faithfulness.
