Hallelujah
BarlowGirl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hm my Baby
Heaven sent you to me
All the worlds been praying
Who will Save?
But who am I
That here tonight
I hold the one
Who'll Bring us life

Hallelujah,
We've been found
A child is born
To save us now
Hallelujah light has come
A Savior who will set us free
A Promise for those who believe

Do you hear the Angels
Sing for you my baby
Men and kings have come to
Bow to you
But here in my arms

So close to me
The son of God
Now all can see

Hallelujah We've been found
A child is born to save us now
Jesus Hallelujah light has come
A savior set us free





So praise to God on high
He has heard our cry
