"A brilliant and fascinating reflection on the stories behind 100 significant modern worship songs." Tim Hughes

From "How Great Thou Art" to "The Blessing", Hallelujah invites you on a journey through 100 of the world's most beloved worship songs - songs that have shaped church life and personal devotion over the last fifty years.

Inside, you'll find the full lyrics to each song, along with the remarkable stories behind them: how they were written, what inspired them, and why they continue to resonate with worshippers around the world.

Whether you're rediscovering old favourites or exploring new ones, this book will deepen your appreciation for the songs that move your soul.

Each song entry also features a QR code, giving you instant access to:

  • Classic and contemporary performances on YouTube
  • Printable chord charts for every song, perfect for musicians and worship leaders

More than a songbook, Hallelujah is a companion for anyone who wants to understand, play, and live the worship they love.
