Hallelujah Lyrics (extended) - Leonard Cohen

Song Title: Hallelujah
Artist: Leonard Cohen

Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you dont 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, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
But 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 didnt 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
 
Now, maybe there's a God above
As for me, all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

{ Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah } x2

Oh, people I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
You see, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But listen, love is not some kind of victory march
It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too
And every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The Father's House Lyrics - Cory Asbury

Song Title: The Father's House Artist: Cory Asbury Lyrics to the song 'The Father's House' sung by Cory Asbury. Sometimes on this journey I get lost in my mistakes What looks to me like weakness  Is a canvas for your strength My story isn’t over My story’s just begun Failure won’t define me Cause that’s what my father does Failure won’t define me Cause that’s what my father does Ooh, lay your burdens down Ooh, here in the Father’s house Check your shame at the door Cause it ain’t welcome anymore Ooh, you’re in the Father’s house Arrival’s not the end-game The journey’s where you are You never wanted perfect You just wanted my heart And the story isn’t over If the story isn’t good And failure is never final  When the Father is in the room Failure is never final when the Father is in the room Ooh, lay your burdens down Ooh, here in the Father’s house Check your shame at the door Cause it ain’t welcome an...
