God gave for the black people the most accurate voice on the earth. No other race on the earth can adore God like them ! Satan was so ungry about it and created racism to put big suffering on black people, for envy and revenge. When you are racist you are working for Satan FOR FREE, and will receive death by salary, because the bible says: "The wages of sin is death" !!

I'm a preacher but today I have seen the hand of God delivering my 2yr old daughter from a very intense 2 operation at the same time . I prayed and waited for God to deliver my daughter from pain and agony but I'm here listening to this songs and thanking God for his faithfulness and keeping his promises 🙏. My daughter is out of surgery and stable. Hallelujah Jesus

This is so GORGEOUS! All of the singers are, physically and musically. We were recently blessed to experience them live at The Soraya in Northridge, CA, USA. Just before they began singing, my husband turned to me and asked if I had my handkerchief, meaning he expected me to cry. I've been listening to African music since about 1984, and I've never cried listening. Shortly into the first number, I was blubbering like a baby.

Fourteen years ago I had a dream of a place with beautiful flowers that were vibrant in color. I heard beautiful music. When I woke up I told my husband. He said I still need you. He knew that it was a glimpse of heaven. This music is beautiful. I remember in my dream it was beautiful music in heaven. I have never heard any music that I can say was beautiful like the one in my dream. This music is beautiful. All I remember it was beautiful music. I can truly say this is heavenly music.

@jeannicekotokpo5000 7 жыл бұрын

+Naomi Smith don't be fool honey it's not because this song titled “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen that means it's a God song. It’s comparing the sexual experience of an orgasm to a religious epiphany. This is a song comparing sex to religion. Consider the verse: Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah This is demonstrating the similarity of sexual gratification, with a religious experience. The point if orgasm is clearly shown in a religious context, drawing the analogy between sexual gratification and the expression of religious joy. It draws an analogy with the Samson and Delilah story, which is pretty overtly sexual in itself.

@zorajay7116 7 жыл бұрын

Jeannice Kotokpo . I agree to a point. What I get from the song is that some of God's choosen ones had a great fall i.e. Samson, David. Samson was deemed never to cut his hair and other rules he had to adhere to and he broke everyone. When he realized that it was too late in hindsight he regretted his decision. With great power comes great responsibility. David, a man after God's own heart with several wives and concubines and King. All that power still wasn't enough. He saw Bathsheba, knocked her up and murdered her husband. As a result his family was destroyed leaving Solomon as his only living heir. I think it's a creative poignant way of saying hindsight is 20/20. We make our own choices only to discover the consequences could destroy us and we either have regrets and a simple Hallelujah ( " if only.....). I'm not into legalistic pious religion. In my opinion it's like being part of the Borg with bibles and Crest smiles and whoa be unto the one who ask anything contrary to what the pastor taught them to think! I'm not disagreeing with you. Its the way I interpreted the song. Leonard Cohen was ( and still is) my favorite artists. Peace💚

Agape love (divine love) is what gives substance to our lives. If that is lost in this world, the world would cease to exist. The beauty of a Savior in your hearts makes a difference in your singing. Don´t let anyone commercialize you--you sing for the Kingdom and not for Babylon! I Corinthians 13:13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

A nice presentation but Definitely some pitching issues here >> BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE >> is this song ‘Hallelujah’ is NOT a Christian song‼️ Have you ever read the lyrics? It’s about the adulterous affair the King had with the wife of another man. and even sings about the actual sexual actions and orgasm etc. Don’t be fooled, the writer of this song was mocking our Praise and Worship. Lesson : Always carefully read the words and check they are biblical.
