I don’t see anything wrong with the lights or stages
I even love it when the crowd gets loud, singing out God's praises
But every now and then, it can get a little complicated
So I remember when I was in that old church basement, singing
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
And I'm singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We got together every Wednesday night, about 30 teenagers
My friend Josh bought a cheap guitar and barely knew how to play it
He wasn’t putting on a show, wasn’t well known, wasn’t trying to be famous
But we sure touched heaven in that old church basement
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
And I'm singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
And I once was blind, but now I can see
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Over the mountains and the sea, your river runs with love for me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Shout to the Lord all the earth, let us sing
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, new melody
Halle-, Yahweh
Halle-, Yahweh
Halle-, Yahweh
Halle-, Yahweh
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It’s the same hallelujah that the elders sing
And it's the only hallelujah that I'll ever need
