@ctconaway The song is about King David's only sin and his seeking forgiveness from God. He had wronged his Queen when saw a beautiful woman and made love to her. If you ask the man who wrote this song about its intentions, you'd receive the answer that it's neither "Christian" or "unChristian". I'm sure this songs holds different meanings for many people, but I can guarantee you that the song is not about an orgasm. Again, it's about an act, a sin, and seeking of forgiveness.
In spite of our human struggle against making wrong choices (our broken Hallelujah) God loves us and accepts our songs...our hallelujahs to Him. King David make horrible choices - and yet He was a man after God's own heart because of his humble willingness to face himself...his wrongs...repent and keep doing his best to serve the Lord.
@blurryshiny i think the lyrics honor what Jesus went through, the emotion collides with how Jesus felt when he chose to die for humanity out of his Love for them :)
@PrettyTiaF Too all, gossip is an unrelenting evil that sweeps away all intelligent conversation and fear of God. It not only destroys the person who bears tales, but it destroys the reputation of the subject of this perfidious and malicious evil.
If you get a chance people check out Jeff Buckley's version of this song also just check out Jeff Buckley. One of the list talented singer guitarist that ever lived R.I.P. JEFF. God speed
Just because the song references the Bible, does not in any way make it a Christian song. Cohen did not write this song to glorify God. Does not make it bad song, I love this song. I am just saying not everything that has some reference in it makes it that.
I don't get why everyone says the dislike button people mistake it for dis-i-like. It's a big thumbs down, and it doesnt even say dislike on it.. just saying :P
Cohen's original version contains several biblical references, most notably evoking the stories of Samson and traitorous Delilah from the Book of Judges as well as the adulterous King David and Bathsheba:[2] "she cut your hair" and "you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you".[1]
He's got such a pretty face and those eyes are so beautiful, then his voice is something that you'd want to hear over and over!!! Thanks Jason Castro for being a wonderful singer!!!
@mikeymiller21 we cannot change faith or ask for it to be changed to you it seemed like a miracle but in reality we all have different body functions some make it some dont it all depends if your body is strong enough its just our nature im not an atheist i just believe that us as humans really dont know the answers as we think we are still ignorant in my belief
@sethkoch1 Hallelujah means "praise the Lord." I'm not too familiar with the song's background, but I think the lyrics are perfect, no matter where it came from. Just my opinion though.
@sethkoch1 We are all sinners - you, me and Jason. In God's eyes no sin is greater or less than the other, and we all need the Savior. I'm not a JC fan as far as he can sing, but I would pray for his salvation.
@mikeymiller21 he is right tho you can pray as much as you want for a person with cancer to heal but in the end we know that it doesnt majicly go away thats how life is we cannot wish for something to happend its phisicaly impossible sad but true
@OakMoB510 ive seen miricals with my own eyes and ive seen hardship pain and suffering Gods will is not ours he gives and takes away in his perfect will people die and others escape death because of God will thats life ive had friends and family heal out of faith and others die because its there time. He numbers our days
King David got up from his bed & walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, & David sent someone to find out about her. The man said: "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" David arranges Uriah's death. David eventually marries Bathsheba. They have a son named Solomon. David's rebel son Absalom dies & Solomon is King. David suffers great loss & great price; from this line is Jesus born...
Poor narrow minded people in the world. There can be a cold and broken halalujah if your cold and broken ,and out of that brokeness you still can find the strength to say halalujah or praise God.... (duh) anywayz I love his voice great song.
@scbikerdude Gal 6:7 makes it clear that mocking God is impossible, He's too above it all. But I love this guys voice, I'd really like to hear him sing worship songs more
shoot somebody who out drew him and its not somebody whos seen the light its a cold and broken hallelujah...... this is not honoring to God i dont wanna be a party pooper and some of you may say leagelist but were is the joy of salvation were is the sanctifacation and were is the fruit of the spirit? God loves jason castro i love him too and he has awesome talent but this song is not good. it maybe a good song as far as music goes.... very good but the lyrics are not thats all just my opinion
soooo.... just because this song says hallelujah and has bible references dose not make it a christian song. he says love is not a victory march and that its a cold and broken hallelujah...... GOD IS LOVE!!!!! LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!!. he didnt include the last to verses but the talk of remembering when God and the holy spirit moved in him and every breath they drew was hallelujah and now its not and the the song goes on to say MAYBE theres a God above but all he ever learned from LOVE was how to
can't listen to this enough. Such a healing song. I can't explain it.. but this song speaks to me in such a deep way. what a wonderful rendition of it. <3
Jason has such a Beautiful Heart & Soul & it reflects in his outer Beauty & Gifted voice . He sings this song so Sweetly & Beautifully and has such an amazing heart for God. It's so good to see these kind of people come off of American Idol
There isn't anyone that sings Hallelujah as well as Jason beside the original version. Thank you for posting this perfect version of this song. Jason is so good. I will always admire his talent that he is so willing to share to glorify God. Thank you again.
The secret chord David played, Father, plays in my heart for You. Baffled like him, often the only word upon my lips is Hallelujah. Yeshua, my faith in You, sight unseen, is the only proof I've ever needed. Spirit, please descend blessing upon my friends for they have accepted me, never mocking my love for You & daily fill my world with smiles.
Went to winter jam the other day, didn't get in because it sold out. Yet he came out and played 2 songs for everyone who didn't get to go in. I got to meet him, he was such a sweetheart. I'm glad the show sold out. =)
the way he sings is amazing the way every high pitch his eyebrows move and how he sings with his eyes closed....you can tell hes passionate and into it.
The fact that he is Christian now, is great, i think. It makes me like his music a million times more. I've always been a jason fan, but I am even more now that his songs are on k-love!

Are Christians upvoting this? Have you ever read the lyrics? This is not a song that honors Jesus:
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
