Hallelujah

I recently read a book by Charlie Daniels:  'Never Look at the Empty Seats', and, in it, he mentions a songwriter Leonard Cohen.  I have never heard of him, so I went to U-Tube and found this version of a song that I have heard numerous times, not knowing it was written by Leonard Cohen.   Enjoy.  It brought tears to me and my wife.

A Christmas Version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah by the Christian group 'Cloverton'.



The original song is not about Christ, but the music is the same.
In the original he is talking about his life, and sings his 'hallelujahs'.

Some Christians groups are good even though they are not Catholic.  Such as Sandi Patti singing 'Glorious Morning' or 'Via Dolorosa', or the Gaither family group singing 'Mary, did you know?'.
