I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
For you today we rejoice with music, with you
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
Beloved king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed love
Saw each other as light rose above
Beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
In a moment both became aware
You now share the throne with loving care
And from your lips, you sing Hallelujah
Today you have been here before
You know this room, You’ve walked this floor
You used to live apart before You knew each
So raise your flag on the marble arch
Love is a victory sacred march
So rejoice and go singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen song adapted to a Wedding song by Dave Schipper © 2011
Shelly and I love to do this song instrumentally at weddings, and the words would never fit... so I tried my hand on an adaption. Now is it a parody to change the total meaning of the song, but it's not funny unless you consider the irony of making a sacrilegious song religious?
Thoughts?
