“Hallelujah” – performed by Jeff Buckley

Well I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

But baby I’ve been here before I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know What’s really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above But all I’ve ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it’s not a cry that you hear at night It’s not somebody who’s seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

As a part of the whole funeral planning process, whether the remains will be buried or cremated, a memorial service is a good way to commemorate the life of the deceased.

The casket or the cremation urns can be displayed in the front as the people do the memorial. One of the songs that you can play on the service is “Hallelujah” which was performed by Jeff Buckley and written by Hayley Williams and Josh Farro.

If you listen to the lyrics, you will notice that the song has a certain religious connotation so this piece will be perfect for those religious Christians.

The basic premise of the song is a person who has gotten astray and has found meaning in life through the help of God. This is perfect for those deceased who have had very tough experiences and challenges when they were still alive. This is also a good song for those people who have died troubled. It could mean that their souls will still be with God in heaven through the guidance of the light.

The song tells the people that there will be experiences that will question each other’s faith but if your faith is strong, you will still be able to find God.

There are other funeral songs that you can play during the service which you can find at www.songmeanings.net.
