Sermons at St. John's Episcopal Church

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth the minor fall,
The major lift the baffled king composing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?

There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much,
I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch,
I’ve told the truth I didn’t come to fool you.

And even though it all went wrong,
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
