Glory Hallelujah

Story Behind The Song

I was probably 12 years old when I wrote this song. I had just learned to play guitar and I felt compelled to write a Christmas song. My father, a minister, did not appreciate what he perceived as "liberties" I took with the concept of the birth of Christ. But I kept this in my arsenal and, ever so many years later, Bill Bentley turned it into this gospel tune. Listen to his awesome background vocal arrangement and to him singing all the male parts (especially the bass)!

Lyrics

Chorus:
Glory Hallelujah, our God is coming down
Glory Hallelujah, our God is coming down
Heard about out suffering past
Heart about it long at last
Glory Hallelujah, our God is coming down

Verse 1:
Do you know the one I'm speaking of?
Do you know his name is love?
Cho:

Verse 2:
God fought the battle but felt He's lost the war
Sending his son to show us what we're living for
Cho:

Tag:
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day, God is alive
This is the first day of the rest of your life
