Sounds of Christmas: Hallelujah Chorus

I guess I must have had extra blogging energy stored up, I've been on a roll tonight!  Actually, I wasn't planning on doing anything else until my mom found this awesome video on YouTube (yes, my mom surfs the web and finds cool YouTube videos, that's just how she rolls).  It's of the Hallelujah Chorus.  Performed in a very....unusual...way.

But, if we're talking about Christmas songs with a message that packs a punch, then Hallelujah Chorus certainly brings a lot to the table!  I put the words below, and when you're finished watching the awesomeness, take a moment to read through the lyrics.  Wow.


|: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! :|

|: For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! :|

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
|: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! :|

The kingdom of this world
Is become the kingdom of our Lord,
And of His Christ, and of His Christ;
And He shall reign for ever and ever,
For ever and ever, forever and ever,

King of kings, and Lord of lords,
|: King of kings, and Lord of lords, :|
And Lord of lords,
And He shall reign,
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings, forever and ever,
And Lord of lords,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

And He shall reign forever and ever,
|: King of kings! and Lord of lords! :|
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings! and Lord of lords!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

And the only thing I can think of to add:  Amen.
