A thousand Hallelujah.

 A Thousand Hallelujahs

A Reflection on Revelation 19:1-3 and Psalm 150:6

A thousand hallelujahs—not enough to sing Your praise,

Yet every one is precious as our grateful hearts we raise.

A thousand tongues, a thousand harps, a thousand voices strong,

Could never reach the summit of the glory that belongs

To You, our King, our Savior, the Lamb upon the throne.

A thousand hallelujahs only whisper what we’ve known.

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.” (Revelation 19:1)

One hallelujah—for the cross, the empty grave.

One hallelujah—for the life You freely gave.

One hallelujah—for the mercy new each day.

One hallelujah—for the Spirit who leads the way.

A thousand hallelujahs—for the morning sun that shines,

For the healing of the broken, for the untangling of the vines.

For the bread upon the table, for the shelter from the storm,

For the promise of His presence keeping all the weary warm.

Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens! (Psalm 150:1)

But a thousand hallelujahs only start the endless song.

When we reach the other side, we will keep singing all along.

Ten thousand, hundred thousand—never, ever cease,

For the Lord our God Almighty reigns in everlasting peace.

So let my life be hallelujah—not just lips, but living proof.

A thousand moments, thousand ways, from the altar to the roof.

A thousand hallelujahs rise—and still they are too few.

But You receive each one with love, and make them fresh and new.

For the Lord our God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! (Revelation 19:6-7)

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. A thousand times, amen.

Amen.
