Hallelujah (Colleen’s Version)

Verse 1:

An innocence upon the world

Emerged as all of life unfurled

A pathway full of mysteries before ya

There were stumbling blocks and streams to cross

With slippery moss upon the rocks

Yet from your soul it drew a hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 2:

You raised a family on your own

3 boys, a girl, a loving home

A life of toil, but still you found it joyful

Your hand upon the iron rod

Faith abiding in your God

Your legacy is love and hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 3:

All along the path is spread

Many rewards that lie ahead

Your loved ones all surround you, hallelujah

Mountain peaks inspire the dreams

A walk among the evergreens

Will always fill your soul with hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
