Hallelujah
Newsboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk into the sunlight so bright
Illumination blocking out the night
She knows that the promises are airtight
There is no doubt you can see it in her eyes
You'll hear her singing to heaven
Even without letting out a word to be heard
In every single situation none too big, none too small
She looks up and the world looks on

She sings Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And her hope in the Savior has colored all she does
And taints the way she loves
She sings Hallelujah and falls to the ground again
With hands stretched up to sky
She is waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say

Step into the spotlight so bright
A character check in the dead of night
To cut the stays of reason, till death defy
All understanding in the neighbor's eye
To run this race like this day's the last
Celebrate, in all we do and all we say
Look up 'cause the world looks on

She sings Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And her hope in the Savior has colored all she does
And taints the way she loves
She sings Hallelujah and falls to the ground again
With hands stretched up to sky
She is waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say

We sing Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And our hope in the Savior has colored all we do
Let it be for you
We'll sing Hallelujah and fall to the ground again
With hands stretched up to the sky
We're waiting for the day, we'll hear the Father say, yeah

We gonna hear Him say, yeah
"Well done, good and faithful one
Enter in, come on share with me
Welcome home, good and faithful one
It's on and on to eternity"

Up to the hill of Calvary
My Savior went courageously
and there he bled and died for me
Hallelujah for the cross

And on that day the world was changed
A final, perfect lamb was slain
Let earth and heaven now proclaim
Hallelujah for the cross

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won, death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the cross

What good Iโ€™ve done could never save
My debt too great for deeds to pay
But God, my Savior, made a way
Hallelujah for the cross

A slave to sin, my life was bound
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesusโ€™ blood came flowing down
Hallelujah for the cross

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah
And when I breathe my final breath
Iโ€™ll have no need to fear that rest
This hope will guide me into death
Hallelujah for the cross

Proud to say that a few months ago after being raised in an anti-theist household and living as a stubborn atheist, I proudly accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. And last Sunday I was officially baptized with my best friend in attendance as a public profession of my faith and obedience to god. God has saved me from a life of godlessness, hopelessness, pain, and constant sin and given me a new life through His love and saving grace
