Deep Purple - Hallelujah Lyrics






Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found

I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Oh, tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man, it's you who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified

There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind

I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.

  4. E.... C....

    Sonzeira de prima, que nostalgia nossa algama e mostra que a verdadeira música se perdeu no caminho...

  5. M.... S....

    20 years ago, 1999, EUR in Rome, unforgettable.

  6. B.... S....

    Looks like a Tarantino movie soundtrack

  7. B.... S....

    Oh man I've been looking for this song sooo long because of Sirens

  8. �.... �....

    Когда услыхал впервые охренел!чувствовал но не узнал!Теперь х...... без остановки!

  9. P.... S....

    This song is weird.

  10. R.... C....

    great find! I've never had the pleasure of hearing this before

    R.... C....

    Ya you can’t get track from ITunes ...that sucks!

  11. G.... W....

    Vocals bei Rod Evans?

    G.... W....

    No, its Ian. Sounds like Rod though, and also the instrumentation resembles MK1 lineup

  12. B.... L....

    They were never the same without Nick SImper....

    B.... L....

    oh please...

    B.... L....

    you're welcome

    B.... L....

    @Bill Lloyd it's a sarcasm! Ian Gillan and Roger Glover were a super addition to the band

  13. o.... k....

    it doesen`t get any BETTER than this

  14. e.... ....

    Ian.....I, love you....
    Best screamer ever!

  17. C.... S....

    This music put all my hairs to stand up

  18. W.... R....

    Great,just great.

  19. j.... ....

    I believe this was the first song that the classic mark 2 lineup of Deep Purple did, with ian gillan on vocals. Correct me if im wrong

  20. M.... D....

    2:38 - 2:48 That´s the key to make this world a more joyful place, a little bit at least. What a song! What a work!

  21. b.... ....

    So that's the song Tenacious-D made a tribute to

  22. N.... C....

    Hallelujah

    I am a preacher with a message for my people
    Over the world, scratching on the ground
    Looking for the peace that nobody has found

    I am a spokesman for a better way of living
    Love is the word and it can be heard
    If you are young the message can be sung

    Let me hear you sing,
    Hallelujah

    Oh, tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall
    Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
    Tell it 'till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
    Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified

    There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find
    If you live and let the people in your world speak it's mind

    I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
    All over the world and it can be heard
    If you are young the message can be sung

    Hallelujah

    N.... C....

    Natalia Carolina Pérez Motta perhaps the most unknown and underrated DP song ever!

    N.... C....

    Best song from a rock and roll band.

  23. P.... M....

    First ever mark 2 song! and a great song and performance at that

  24. K.... H....

    It's reminds me of april deep purple song

    K.... H....

    April (Part 1) was the b-side of this as a 45. :)

  25. M.... S....

    Super !!!

  26. P.... M....

    No band sounds like deep purple

    P.... M....

    GREAT TEAM WORK.......😍😍🤩😁 from a great band.....brother...😁

  27. R.... A....

    This is how it will sound like when the Jews finally take Palestine back.

    R.... A....

    they took it already back and nothing of your bullshit prophecies has been fulfilled, jesus had died and that's it, get over it!

    R.... A....

    Franz Kafka How the hell would you know? Were you there?

    R.... A....

    Why do you want to bring politics into this? Just listen to the music.

  28. k.... ....

    Great song. Great band.

    k.... ....

    Not great. The best!

  29. B.... G....

    Nice gem, written by Greenaway/Cook, who also wrote that Coke song. "I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing".

  30. J.... S....

    And to think Gillan was turned down as a choir boy.....shucks huh 👊👊👊👊

    J.... S....

    MAYBE A GOOD THING.......COULD HAVE RUINED HIM FOR LIFE......😍😍🤩🤩😁

    J.... S....

    He even turned down to play Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar ;)

  31. F.... ....

    blind guardian has an awesome cover of this song!!

    F.... ....

    ya their cover kicks just as much ass as the original

    F.... ....

    yes very very good cover but not like this

    F.... ....

    hmmm no

    F.... ....

    It truly is a great cover. Makes the song so much more upbeat and energetic. Which fits the optimistic message.

    F.... ....

    yes but this is in 1969 .i prefer the old version .deep purple is the best

  32. J.... N....

    No wonder he was to become Jesus Christ in the famous musical...

  33. S.... ....

    The lasts seconds are a brief resumed of z Uriah Heep sound... sofuckingayman!

    The Jon Lord huge influence is rather clear here... he probably was more or less "the leader" at that time... but as the single did not work in the charts R. Blackmore opinions took a little bit more place in z following months ...eventhough Ritchie's guitar is a little bit everywhere here too

  34. N.... O....

    Ian Gillan <3

  35. m.... ....

    Almost makes me believe in god.

    Deep Purple forever!

  36. A.... Y....

    Композиция примечательна не только тем, что издавалась только на сингле 1969 года и двух сборниках, но и тем что это была фактически первая совместная запись состава Mk II (июнь 1969 -- июнь 1973)...

    A.... Y....

    Capito tutto

  37. M.... K....

     a wow song,,,, high pitched voice ....riffs based on purple haze ?

    I love it

  38. H.... D....

    sorry aber geht gar nicht

  39. t.... ....

    Hallelujah ,  a single released in late 1969 , this song was included on the Rhino shades of deep purple box set that was released in the late 1990's  

  40. H.... J....

    still sounds very hippie. nothing to do with the heavy riffs that would come a little later in their career

    H.... J....

    I like it.

  41. G.... T....

    Can never get tired of this man's singing. Great stuff

  42. �.... �....

    I think all Pentecostals/Charismatics should pray with this song

    �.... �....

    I agree, but I think all Christians should do so too, not just Pentecostals and Charismatics.

  43. k.... m....

    Read Gillans autobiography.... not wikiepedia-lol The writing of Child in time and the recording of happened as JCS was finished......Gillan did not do the mudical because the money offered was less than he got for expenses with DP. He also turned down the role of General Peron cause the money also was not enough. Two regrets he mentioned in his book. Not wikiepedia....but Gillan could be wrong...

  44. S.... W....

    I like both

  45. Q.... ....

    I like Blind Guardian's version better!!

  46. i.... ....

    too bad though, although of course the movie Jesus was great. But still...

  47. A.... S....

    you are 100% correct, he almost did perform on stage too, but he didn't want to leave his DP bandmates behind so he told the people running JCS that they would also have to pay the other 4 members of DP, and so that's why Gillan never performed as Jesus

  48. i.... ....

    Gillan was indeed the first "Jesus" but I don't think he ever performed it on stage...correct me if I'm wrong.

  49. K.... M....

    God9Gillan) sung this live at the 24 Sep 69 Concerto..... That influenced Webber Rice to write the part Jesus for Gillan

    K.... M....

    No, it was Child in Time. Wish they HAD played this song live too.

  50. J.... ....

    Could someone please explain to me in a slow mode in a language that i might understand how this song was a flop? Makes no furfreakin sense too me!!!

    J.... ....

    Probably got no airplay. It's an awesome song.

  51. L.... A....

    Almost 45 years later this is still incredible, untouched.

    L.... A....

    YES....😍😍🤩🤩😁

  52. K.... ....

    I think it's on the DVD "Masters from the Vaults"

  53. B.... B....

    I wonder if they ever did this one live..that woulda been cool to see

  54. g.... p....

    45rpm released July '69 with b side April Pt.1 by Harvest/EMI Records

  55. M.... M....

    blind guardian brought me here

  56. K.... ....

    It was on an album called The Anthology.

  57. N.... ....

    Can the uploader please tell me the exact name of the compilation in which this song is?

  58. N.... ....

    Rod Evans could have done it better!

    N.... ....

    Better, no. Differently, yes. Evans has a great voice too but it's different than Ian's. You can't compare the two voices.

  59. A.... G....

    Thank you Ian Gillan&Deep

  60. T.... S....

    Rest in Peace Jon "The Great" Lord...

  61. Z.... B....

    I am johnny and i like this song veri mach

  62. T.... ....

    The problem is that any one in the states proclaim himself a prechure and gives the world an amazing lot of bulshit staff about Jesus and things.

  63. L.... A....

    this is heavy metal!

  64. K.... W....

    Gillan was the original choice for the JCS Album he ison it and is the star of it. He refused to be in the film because of album and touring commitments with deep purple. case closed.

  65. V.... ....

    The chord progression is the same as Gethsemane. When was this released?

  66. C.... �....

    Deep Purple...

  67. m.... ....

    this is awesome!

  68. H.... ....

    Золотой состав Пеплов!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. E.... D....

    OMG I love this song... Gillan's voice was completely amazing at the time *.*

  70. m.... b....

    what a shame they didnt put this song in the album of shades.

  71. F.... S....

    @shotguy1 limewire

  72. C.... ....

    @shotguy1 I would recommend the remastered version that comes in Shades, a comp. made by Rhino.

  73. S.... S....
