Lyrics
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, 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, Hallelujah, 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<BR> Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah<BR> Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A star shown bright up in the east<BR> To Bethlehem, the wisemen three<BR> Came many miles and journeyed long for You<BR> And to the place at which You were<BR> Their frankincense and gold and myrrh<BR> They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah<BR> Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I know You came to rescue me<BR> This baby boy would grow to be<BR> A man and one day die for me and you<BR> My sins would drive the nails in You<BR> That rugged cross was my cross, too<BR> Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah<BR> Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah<BR> Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
