Kelly Mooney's Powerful Easter Version of "Hallelujah"

Kelly Mooney’s Easter rendition of “Hallelujah” is so powerful! You have got to hear it. Kelly Mooney has been singing since she was 5-year-old. She really enjoys songwriting and was inspired to write her own rendition of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. Her version of the song told the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection in the most beautiful way. And I absolutely loved it!

Even though Kelly was a little nervous, she said she will absolutely do it.

She thought that it would not be a good idea to sing those lyrics, so she came up with a great idea to re-write the song to tell the story of Easter. And oh my, was her rendition extremely powerful!

And everywhere she sang the song, people were asking for her to record it.

But then she decided to reach out to Leonard Cohen’s publishers to have rights to record the rendition of the song. Thankfully, she has the rights and this rendition was recorded on one of her albums.
