A Thousand Hallelujahs
Brooke Ligertwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who else would rocks cry out to worship

Whose glory taught the stars to shine

Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing
But this joy is mine

With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your Name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus this song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
A thousand more

Who else would die for our redemption
Whose resurrection means I′ll rise
There isn't time enough to sing of all You′ve done
But I have eternity to try

With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your Name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus this song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
A thousand more

Praise to the Lord
To the Lamb
To the King of heaven
Praise for He rose
Now He reigns
We will sing forever

Praise to the Lord
To the Lamb
To the King of heaven
Praise for He rose
Now He reigns
We will sing forever

With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your Name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus this song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
A thousand more

We sing praise to the Lord
To the Lamb
To the King of heaven
Praise for He rose
Now He reigns
We will sing forever

With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your Name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus this song is forever Yours




A thousand hallelujahs
A thousand more

This reminds me of the vision
Jesus first showed me!

It was of people worshipping
Him and loving Him with all
their being as God!

I told God; well if it IS true I
would like to know but I can-
not take other peoples beliefs,
opinions or experiences!

I just don’t know!

But you need to prove it to
me beyond ‘any’ shadow of
any doubt!

He did prove it! And way
beyond any shadow of
any doubt!

A number of months later He
brought Christians to live in
the front house.

They gave me Bible lessons
and I felt the love of Christ.

I went to their church & I felt
the love of God so much that
I surrendered to God and as I
did a white light (pure love)
came down, from heaven fill-
ing me up, washing me clean (spiritually) and forgiving me!

Then it was as though blinders were taken off my eyes and I could ‘see and understand’ the things of God!

I knew the Bible was true!

A voice sang Amazing grace in
my ear! The words included ‘I
was lost now I am found. I was
blind, now I see.’

I had thought that was just a
song but it turned out it was
a spiritual reality!

A mystery!

I saw Gods ‘form’ and Jesus
face melting together as one
and I began to speak with other tongues!

Hallelujah!

I was born again
