A Hallelujah Christmas by Cloverton





I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah

A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah

The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah

    2. Kayleigh Rogers is a shy girl who makes up the 200-student team at Killard House School in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland. She has a type of moderate autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but her music teacher, Lloyd Scates, noted that "when she sings, she just opens up" and encouraged the girl to sing and gain confidence through vocal training .

      The result is this beautiful presentation!

    3. Testimony of financial breakthrough from GOD through the help of Funding Circle Loan INC. (fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622)...

      Hi I'am Evelyn Russell resident at 808 NE 19th St Oklahoma City, I am a single mother blessed with 2 daughters. For a while now I have been searching for a genuine loan lender who could help me with a loan as I no longer have a job, all I got were hoodlums who made me trust them and at the end they took my money without giving me any loan, my hope was lost, I got confused and frustrated, it became difficult for my family to feed with a good meal, I never wanted to have anything to do with any loan lending companies on the internet again. Not until I met a Godsent loan lender that changed my life and that of my family Through the help of a fellowship member "a lender with the fear of God in him Mr JASON RAYMOND, he was the man God sent to elevate my family from suffering. At first I thought it wasn’t going to be possible due to my previous experience until I received my loan worth $135,000.00 USD in less then 24hours. So my advise to anyone out there genuinely in need of a loan is to contact Funding Circle Loan INC through this official email:- fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622 and be financial lifted.

  7. This is what the song should always have been (no reflection on Leonard Cohn) but this is so much better.

    1. Paul, this is such a beautiful song with such a great message of love. But, the Leonard Cohn song carried a different message...which I found to be as powerful as this one.
      Blessings to you and your family.

    ReplyDelete
  24. it would be good to wheel a piano into a shopping centre and have someone play sing this.
    What an inpact it would have.

  25. I play in a mountain dulcimer/guitar group and we have the dulcimer arrangement for this song, which I love. We ordered and received our music from Tull Glazener. He does have a web site for dulcimer music.

  26. A friend sent me this song yesterday. It has moved me like no other song ever has. My life has been a mess. Unemployed for a long time. I am out of money, can't pay my bills and I haven't felt any joy with Christmas coming. This song has moved me. Maybe there is hope after all. Thank you Cloverton.

  28. The most hateful person in this hate filled world would be touched by those words. The song is beautiful as always, the lyric change took it to a whole new level. Brilliant!!

    1. Not everyone is touched by Christian thievery. It took the original and turned it on it's head with this vanilla, half baked effort.

      Delete
    2. How is it thievery when this rewrite was created and is performed with Leonard Cohen's full knowledge, consent and agreement? Get your facts straight before you make accusations from faceless anonymity

  29. You still can hear this song on the following link. Until someone takes it down,

    1. I LOVE this song as well! I have looked, but dont think you will find it to buy. From what I understand there are copyright issues with Sony (i think with the music) :( I found a video on Dailymotion with the lyrics and downloaded it to my computer. Then made a DVD to watch.. So I can watch on computer or TV.

  47. Parody and Satire
    An artist might adapt someone else’s song lyrics for his own purposes, such as parody. The artist Weird Al Yankovic, for example, popularized many such adaptations in the 1980s. Even though parody is considered a legitimate use under the fair use exception, the work might still constitute an infringement if it relies on extensive portions of the original work, because copyright law prohibits the unauthorized adaptation of a copyrighted work. Although the law in this area is complex, the U.S. Supreme Court indicated in the case of Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music that a "fair use" defense is more likely to prevail in the case of parody (when the target of ridicule is the original work itself) than in the case of satire (when the adapted version uses the original work for the purpose of broader social critique).
