Poem
Lord, a storm is raging- in our mist Our nation suffers- with its twists I know you see these roots of evil, don’t you? We spend our time- getting ahead We’ve lost sight- of the blood you shed With hope we raise our voice with Hallelujahs Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There are children hungry- in our streets The population- ignores the weak But you send your angels in their mist, now don’t you There are murders committed -in our land It’s time for us- to take a stand Please hear our pleas in these broken Hallelujahs Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Reparations needed- for wicked deeds Twas with sinful lust- evil bare its seeds We need cleansing from immorality, please won’t you? As we bend our knees- and bow our heads We lay our plight- at your feet instead Our prayers not lost within our Hallelujahs Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah The signs that you -are coming soon Have been preached for years- with sudden doom But with loving hands you’ll save your children, won’t you. You’ll pluck your flowers from the weeds Salvation winning over sinful deeds With our faith we raise our voices in Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah With humbled heart and meek attitude We come to you, with our gratitude And raise our voice with joyful Hallelujahs Salvation bought with your blood depleted Victory was won with death defeated Your brides await the bridegroom, Hallelujah!! Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Written for a Members Contest to write a lyric to the tune of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” I decided to keep the Hallelujah’s in place because I think we need to hear more “Hallelujahs” in our world today. *No infringement intended on Leonard Cohen’s original verses of “Hallelujah”.
