Yet, if our heart is right, and we repent [I didn’t say “say sorry”, I said “repent”), will be merciful and forgive us. The Book of Second Samuels in the Old Testament shows us that as humans we are imperfect - our spirit is willing to please God but our flesh is weak. Even though David’s heart yearned to please the Lord, he was still human and he succumbed to sexual temptation. He spent much of time praising God with his instruments and song. King David had a special relationship with God. That being said, if you've read the Bible, you will hear Biblical symbolism throughout this song as it tells the story of King David and Bathsheba (and throws in a little bit of Samson details too). Interpretation as beauty, is always in the “eyes of the beholder.” Some say Leonard Cohen lyrics often contain sexual innuendo. So, in essence, the word Hallelujah is praising God. It is derived from the Hebrew word hallĕlūyāh which means “praise (ye) the Lord". Someone recently said that this song was not a worship song, but I believe they are very wrong.Īccording to the Miriam-Webster Dictionary, the word “Hallelujah” is defined as being used to give praise, joy, or thanks. A number of people have been discussing the meaning of the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah” (sung by Jason Castro on AI)(and previously sung by Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainright) and several have asked me what I think this song means.
