I heard about a baby boy
Who came to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you now
The angel said to a virgin girl
Your child will come to save the world
So with every breath she sang out hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
So Mary went to Bethlehem
Expecting as Joseph searched the Inns
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger full of hay
God’s only Son was born, Oh hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
The shepherds left their flocks that night
To see the Christ child wrapped in light
A host of angels led them straight to You
It was just the way the angels said
You’ll find him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
A star shown bright out in the east
To Bethlehem, the wise men three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place just where You were
Brought frankincense and gold and myrrh
And gave to You and cried out hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
I know you came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross too
Still every breath you drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Now Jesus reigns forevermore
So we our savior must adore
With Merry Christmas praises to You now
We lift our voices singing loud
With hope and joy we pierce the clouds
We raise our hands and sing out hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Easter verse:
He hung upon the cross that day
He took my sins and yours away
By His stripes we are healed and born anew
His blood has brought us saving grace
If we turn from sin and seek His face
Confess our faith and cry out hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Based on the lyrics of A Hallelujah Christmas by Cloverton and the music of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah
I tweaked existing verses, and added a couple of verses of my own. The last two verses are by Kimberly Marie Hartfield.
About mamaheartfilled
I am a mother of eight wonderfully challenging children and fourteen grandkids, of whom I am very proud. I am also a bi-vocational ordained evangelical minister, and a Christian Counselor. I received my B.S. degree in 2004, studying primarily in the areas of Psychology, with minors in Religion and English. I received my Masters Degree in 2009 in Psychological Counseling with an emphasis in Christian Counseling. I have endeavored to paraphrase the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. It is my hope that it will be of some use in the great commission of Christ. My ministry is primarily geared toward victims of sexual and domestic violence, including victims of childhood sexual abuse, whether currently or in the past. Since I have personally experienced the healing hand of God in overcoming many of the life issues that Christians may face, I feel qualified and compelled to discuss them in a truthful and open manner, as God’s word tells us that “We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free.” God has brought me through such diverse tribulations as sexual, physical, and mental abuse, being a victim of a drunk driving accident, spousal pornography addiction, adultery, divorce, remarriage, a very brief, though unjust, incarceration, and having experienced multiple miscarriages and various other trials. I have been asked to leave two Southern Baptist Churches, due to my being a female, ordained as a minister, and fired from a SBC sponsored Christian School (mostly white) for speaking out against racial prejudice in the Family of God. Through God’s merciful forgiveness of my own sins and inadequacies and God’s grace given to me to forgive those who have been a stumbling block to me, I have overcome many of these adversities. God’s word tells us that “All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to the purposes of God." Since I have this hope, I believe that God has blessed me with the ability to confront and relate these issues to the Christian community around the world. I hope to be able to use my personal experiences as a ministry of God’s grace and in the comforting of the people of God with the truth of God's mercy. I claim II Corinthians 1: 3 & 4 as my calling, which states: “Blessed be God, the Origin of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Origin of mercies, and the God of comfort; who comforts us in all our troubles, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, by the comfort we ourselves have been given by God.” As I have received the gift of God’s healing, I hope to be able to bring the peace beyond understanding to others with the message of God’s mercy and grace. My love for the Sovereign Lord of my life, Jesus Christ, along with my passion for writing has drawn me to explore these commonly experienced crisis issues from the perspective of my own experience in the hope that I may bring an empathetic and compassionate insight to God’s people. I am now a published author and have several books in publication, including my autobiography, "A Little Redneck Theology." The views expressed in my writings are strictly my own insights, acquired from personal experience and diligent study of the related topics and God’s word concerning them. Though I am an ordained minister, my views should not be considered authoritative. I believe that the Christian community’s ultimate authority is the guidance of the human heart by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
