I love this version of the classic Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah," by the Christian Band Cloverton. They have titled this piece "A Hallelujah Christmas." Cloverton have changed Cohen's lyrics and turned it into a holiday treat:
I've heard
about this baby boy
Who's come to
earth to bring us joy
And I just
want to sing this song to you
It goes like
this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor
fall, the major lift
With every
breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A couple came
to Bethlehem
Expecting
child, they searched the inn
To find a
place for You were coming soon
There was no
room for them to stay
So in a
manger filled with hay
God's only
Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The shepherds
left their flocks by night
To see this
baby wrapped in light
A host of
angels led them all to You
It was just
as the angels said
You'll find
Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and
Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
A star shown
bright up in the east
To Bethlehem,
the wisemen three
Came many miles
and journeyed long for You
And to the
place at which You were
Their
frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to
You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I know You
came to rescue me
This baby boy
would grow to be
A man and one
day die for me and you
My sins would
drive the nails in You
That rugged
cross was my cross, too
Still every
breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
