A Hallelujah Christmas--- by Cloverton
(Sixth verse by Erik Gray)
VERSE ONE
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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
VERSE TWO
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,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
VERSE THREE
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,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
VERSE FOUR
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,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
VERSE FIVE
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,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
VERSE SIX
Three days after you would die,
An empty tomb, a woman’s cry
“Why weepest thou?” You said to her with love
She smiled as she saw You stand,
All glory shining through the land
A resurrected King, praise Hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-ujah.
