A Cold & Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen wrote a haunting, beautiful, and deeply meaningful song called ‘Hallelujah’. It’s been covered and recreated countless times; many people have a favorite version: from Jeff Buckley to Pentatonix. This song resonates with people because it speaks to a deep ache in all of us… Even when things are at their worst, can I still say Hallelujah? This question is at the heart of the prophet Habakkuk, who longs for God to intervene and make things right...but still chooses to praise God when the answer isn't swift. 

The version of 'Hallelujah' we heard at church was by Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris: HERE.
