I was going to keep this song for myself. I thought it was too simple to share, but with my friend Oliver Schroer's encouragement, I brought "Hallelujah" to Lynn and Scott to consider for the CD. I have sung this song, as it turns out, more than any of my others.

HALLELUJAH
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
He'll be whistling while he works
He'll be whistling while he works
He'll be whistling, he'll be whistling
Whistling while he works
She'll be tending their garden green
She'll be tending their garden green
She'll be tending, she'll be tending
Tending their garden green
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
She'll be holding their little lamb
She'll be holding their little lamb
She'll be holding, she'll be holding
Holding their little lamb
He'll be singing lullabies
He'll be singing lullabies
He'll be singing, he'll be singing
Singing lullabies
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
She'll be making sugar pie
She'll be making sugar pie
She'll be making, she'll be making
Making him a sugar pie
He'll be kissing her each night
He'll be kissing her each night
He'll be kissing, he'll be kissing
Kissing her each night
