Hallelujah (Easter Edition)

Hallelujah (Easter version)
Tune: Leonard Cohen
Lyrics: Mike Ainsworth with minor edits by JD Longmire

V1:

C                   Am
I heard about a baby born
C                         Am
Into a world that sin had torn
             F                           G                         C          G
You’d wouldn't think He'd do too much to save ya
             C                             F           G
But His Father planned and made a way
      Am                               F
He knew that there would come a day
G                                     Em              Am
When all the world would need a hallelujah

F                   Am           F                C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

V2:

C                                 Am
I’ve heard about what Scriptures frame,
C                       Am
He grew into a man and came
     F                           G                  C          G
To bring the hope of Living Waters to ya
      C                                     F           G
He brought good news, the people came
         Am                   F
The leaders all just turned away
      G                        Em           Am
But others followed crying Hallelujah!

F                   Am           F                C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

V3

C                            Am
When they saw all He had done,
         C                        Am
The leaders knew the time had come
     F                       G                         C          G
To make a plan to stop the One sent to ya
     C                              F         G
He knew that He’d give everything
         Am                   F
They knew that must kill the King
       G                   Em           Am
And put an end to all those Hallelujahs

F                   Am           F                C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah


V4 :

C                                           Am
They thought that they had brought Him down
                   C                               Am
When they made Him wear their thorny crown
       F                           G                          C          G
And hung Him on the Cross - a message to ya
      C                                 F             G
But two days passed, the third one came
         Am               F
And Jesus Christ arose again
       G                   Em           Am
Now all of us are singing Hallelujah!

F                   Am           F                C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
(Rising)
F                   Am           F                C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

Global Blasphemy Laws

One of the interesting things about discussions surrounding blasphemy laws (whether by the UN or others)is they cannot be conducted without coming back to the central question: What is Truth? Seems this was the question in Jesus' day, it's the question which comes us today, and it's a question which cannot be avoided. ... suppose God intended it to be this way?
