What does the word hallelujah actually mean in the Bible? In this episode of More Than a Song, we explore the Scripture behind “Let It Be a Hallelujah” by Lauren Daigle and discover how Colossians 3 shows us what it looks like to live a life of praise.
Instead of thinking of hallelujah as something we sing in worship, Scripture reveals that our entire everyday life can become a hallelujah—a living declaration of praise to God.

Read the entire letter to the Colossians (chapters 1–4). Then spend extra time sitting in Colossians 3, noticing:
What believers are called to put off
What believers are called to put on
How gratitude is woven throughout the passage
Ask yourself:
How should this change the way I think? How should this change the way I live?
Quote from the Episode
“Our hallelujah—our worship—is not just a song or a prayer. It’s our lives. It’s taking our everyday, ordinary life—our sleeping, eating, going-to-work, walking-around life—and doing everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
