Lyric discussion by dmhale 

The word itself is the secret cord by the way - the sound of the word hallelujah is described in the song:

Well it goes like this: the fourth (hAL), the fifth(Leh) The minor fall(Lu) and the major lift (yA) The baffled king composing Hal-le-lu-jah

great job on the back up singers putting such a major lift on the "jah"

@dmhale you nailed it!!!!
