GREEN VALLEY GLOSSARY
(or How to Speak “Christianese”)
Hallelujah (also alleluia)- a Hebrew word that means “let us praise God” or better “let us boast of God”. The word is a composite of halal (boast, praise, acclaim) and Yah (a shortened version of Yahweh).
When we use the word in a repetitive fashion, as in the choruses of our songs, try to think of personal reasons why God is worthy of your praise and boasting, and let those thoughts be the “heart” behind the words you are singing!
