Hallelujah Chorus

There is something powerful in this little video. At least to me. To me there is something about the Hallelujah chorus that cuts through the secular stuff around Christmas.  It goes straight to the heart of the matter for Christians.  For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth forever.

The lyrics for  George Frideric Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, from the Oratorio Messiah are at the end of this post.

As you may have noticed, Christians don't always agree.  We disagree about doctrine and practice.  Which may be a short sentence, but encompasses a remarkable number of things.  Hopefully, though, while we may question many things, what this Chorus sings about is something I hope we can agree on.

I used to wonder what the big deal about this musical piece was all about.  Same thing every year.  Except that now, what it declares moves my spirit.  Makes want to sing in agreement, in worship to the God that I love and for what he has done for me.

So ya, your mileage may vary, but for me this little video was an excellent reminder that Christmas is coming.  And that is something to be happy about.

If you're looking for a link with the piece played by some folks in a more traditional way,
