Hallelujah Square

I just remembered this song we used to sing at the old time baptist church I used to attend back in Eastern Kentucky. I used to LOVE this song and every time I heard it I would tear up and rejoice.

But now that we've been going through all that we have with Emily this song means even more to me. And now it strikes the heart strings much harder than ever before!

If you've heard it sung before then I'm sure you will sing it as you read the lyrics. In fact, I invite you to.

If it's new to you, then take in every word and really let it sink in.

This is what I look forward to. This is what Hallelujah Square is.

What a wonderful time we'll all have up there!!

Hallelujah Square

Lyrics

Verse:

I saw a blind man tapping along, losing his way, as he passed through the throng

Tears filled my eyes, I said, "Friend you can't see," but, with a smile on his face, he replied to me

Chorus:

I'll see all my friends in Hallelujah Square, what a wonderful time we'll all have up there

We'll sing and praise Jesus, His glory to share, and you'll not see one blind man in Hallelujah Square

(key change)

Verse:

Now, I saw a cripple dragging his feet, he couldn't walk like we do down the street

I said, "My friend, I feel sorry for you," but he said, "Up in Heaven, I'm gonna walk just like you."

Chorus:

I'll see all my friends in Hallelujah Square, what a wonderful time we'll all have up there

We'll sing and praise Jesus, His glory to share, and you'll not see one cripple in Hallelujah Square

(key change)

Verse:

And I saw an old man, gasping for breath, soon he'd be gone, as his eyes closed in death

He looked at me and said, "Friend don't look so blue, for I'm going up to Heaven, now how about you?"

Chorus:

I'll see all my friends in Hallelujah Square, what a wonderful time we'll all have up there

We'll sing and praise Jesus, His glory to share, and we'll all live forever in Hallelujah Square!
