Ben Nelson and I were passing time (something we do quite well) with two guitars in a Bible School dorm room several years ago. He was playing this fast-moving melody line over the top of what I was playing. We ended up singing (w/o words) on top of that, and decided it was pretty cool, but had no clue what to do with it. A few weeks later I wrote the words to the song, wanting to convey just a few of the many manifestations of praise in the Bible. Originally I entitled it, "What it Means to Praise," but decided the song wasn't exactly exhaustive on the matter, and the name probably wouldn't stick anyway. So "The Hallelujah Song" seemed fitting.
