HALLELUJAH

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't 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"

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Greatest Life Challenge

The greatest life purpose, challenge or accomplishment for any person born into this world is to reconcile and restore their relationship with their Creator. Humanity throughout our existence has tried repeatedly and failed miserably to do so.

Judaism denies any significance of Jesus existence, calling the man a fraud. Islam considers Jesus an insignificant prophet or teacher. Atheist deny the existence of anything greater than themselves.

But the greatest truth ever spoken regarding man's short lived life experience on this planet was spoken by Jesus when he said, "The greatest goal in this life is to love God with all your being and to love your neighbor as your self." Thru this love you can become reconciled with your creator and restore that intimate relationship that once existed when each of us were first created at conception, in the womb, and in the image of our Creator.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."  Jeremiah 1:5
