One of the songs we sang in church today made me think of how little I know about the word Hallelujah, and if I'm going to sing it, or say it, I need to know what it means.
So, what does it mean?
The definition of the word Hallelujah is "a shout of joy, praise, or gratitude."
The word Hallelujah means "God be praised."
I really can't believe I never knew that. It's not enough to just repeat what we hear in church. We have to study it, research it, define it, and understand it.
Interestingly enough, in the NIV, I could only find the word "hallelujah" in the book of Revelation.

"Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: 'Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready'" (Revelation 19:6-7).
