The Hallelujah

Blessed be the LORD from Zion,

he who dwells in Jerusalem!

Praise the LORD!

Psalm 135:21

In ancient ways

You Who dwelt in Zion

on holy days

received sacrifice and praise

A temple built of wood and stone

was where You were found

endless sacrifice would atone

Your people sang Hallelujah!

On Zion’s mount

in grandeur holy

gifts were brought

as You were adored

Lord of heaven’s throne

come to earth

Your presence in holiest place home

blessed was the earth by You

On another holier hill

Your Son journeyed

there His perfect blood to spill

temple curtain on first hill split

For another worship way

was made for us

on that dark day

You redeemed Your people

Declared holy in righteousness of the Son

No hill or temple is necessary

now indwelling everyone

who believes… bodies are temples!

Blessed is the Lord in us

Who has declared us now His home

all built up in the life of Jesus

We sing Hallelujah! I am the Hallelujah!

Praises in worship I bring

to my Savior and Redeemer

Sing perfectly to my King

For has has built this new life, new home

I am the Hallelujah

my life His holy habitation

I sing joyful thanks to You

Jesus entempled in me now.
