Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music - Old Church Basement

I don't see anything wrong with the lights or stages
I even love it when the crowd gets loud singing out God's praises
But every now and then it can get a little complicated
So I remember when I was in that old church basement, singing

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of Your goodness and Your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

And I'm singing
Oh-oh, oh-oh (yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

We got together every Wednesday night, about thirty teenagers
My friend Josh bought a cheap guitar and barely knew how to play it
He wasn't putting on a show
Wasn't well known, wasn't trying to be famous
But we sure touched heaven in that old church basement

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of Your goodness and Your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

And I'm singing
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Find me singing
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Oh-oh (feels so good), oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
And I once was blind but now I can see
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Oh, over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Oh, shout to the Lord all the earth, let us sing
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

(Say hallelujah)
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of Your goodness and Your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh (new melody)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (Halle to Yahweh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Halle to Yahweh (sing it your way)
Halle to Yahweh (sing it your way)
Halle to Yahweh (it's what the heavens are declaring)
(It's what the heavens are declaring)
Halle to Yahweh (so we will respond)
(We will respond, say Halle)
Halle to Yahweh (worthy, worthy, worthy)
(Worthy, worthy, worthy)
Halle to Yahweh (no greater name, no greater name)
(No greater name, say Halle)
Halle to Yahweh (sing it your way)
(Sing it your way)
Halle to Yahweh (sing it your way)
(Sing it your way, sing it your way)
(Sing, Halle to Yahweh)
Halle to Yahweh (something happens when we praise)
Halle to Yahweh (something happens when we praise)
Halle to Yahweh (something happens when we praise)
Halle to Yahweh (so we didn't know, we didn't know)
Halle to Yahweh (worthy is the Lamb)
Halle to Yahweh (to receive glory)
Halle to Yahweh (power, dominion)
Halle to Yahweh (power)

Oh, glory, Hallelujah
Worthy to receive glory, honor, dominion and power

And hallelujah is all I need
When I think of Your goodness and Your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
It's coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It's the same hallelujah that the elders sing
And it's the only hallelujah that I will ever need
