Get Instrumental This is like no other Christian song and deserves a place in your repertoire. Leonard Cohen penned the lyrics in 1984 and those words are what make this piece so powerful. “I’ve heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord”. And then there are the final lines, “And even though it all went wrong, I’ll stand before the Lord of Song, with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah”. My arrangement doesn’t begin to do justice to this one, but I think it will play well on stage for you singers who are up to the challenge.
