I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, you know I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? But remember when I moved in you And the Holy Dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there is a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah

Jeff Buckley gravou mais de vinte takes de “Hallelujah” antes de selecionar os melhores, dos quais o engenheiro de estúdio Andy Wallace escolheu três para compor o single final.
O arranjo final de Buckley é minimalista, destacando apenas vocais e guitarra elétrica, e foi inspirado na versão de John Cale.
Em 2004, a versão de Buckley ficou na posição 259 da lista “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” publicada pela Rolling Stone.
Em setembro de 2007, entre cinquenta compositores entrevistados pela Q Magazine, “Hallelujah” entrou no “Top 10 Greatest Tracks” e o cantor John Legend descreveu a interpretação de Buckley como “próxima de perfeita”.
O primeiro #1 de Buckley ocorreu postumamente, em março de 2008, quando a sua versão alcançou o topo do Billboard Hot Digital Songs após uma apresentação em American Idol por Jason Castro.
