The acoustics are abominable. I'd be grateful if someone would take the trouble to discern and then transcribe the lyrics.
Thanks in advance.

LEONARD COHEN LYRICS
"Hallelujah"
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, 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 in 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 have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe theres a God above
But all Ive ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Its not somebody who has seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

It’s bittersweet, tragicomical. (Or, comedo-tragic.)

Thanks, but I’m quite familiar with Cohen’s version. I was referring to the priest’s lyrics, which sound different.

Just the kind of thing I like to hear sung from the altar.

Cohens version, AKA "the lyrics".

The priest’s version is not the “popular” verses as shown here. I couldn’t make out every word but it is definitely wedding customized.

Well you won’t hear that in this video, unless the priest went sardonic.

He wrote his own lyrics to suit the couple.

He didn’t sing that. The priest wrote his own lyrics for the couple.
However, I’m told the original has biblical meanings.

The music minister at the (Baptist) church I go to has revamped the song as well for worship purposes.
Except he couldn’t quite bring himself to sing “you” as “ya.”

He wrote his own lyrics to suit the couple.Yes, that's what I concluded. What I'm trying to learn, in the face of nonresponsive replies, is exactly what Fr. Kelly's lyrics were.

Just the kind of thing I like to hear sung from the altar. In that case you will probably love this.

We join together here today,
To help two people on their way,
As Leah and Chris start their life together,
And now weve reached their special date,
Weve come to help them celebrate,
And show them how much we love them too,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
As Leah is walking up the aisle,
And Chris looks up and gives a smile,
The love that flows between them fills the church,
With Leahs friends and family on her side,
She really is the blushing bride,
With love and pride they lead her
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
With the priest and the family who lead the prayers,
We say our lines and they say theirs,
I guide them through the ceremony,
And in this house of God above,
They join their hands to show their love,
And say those most important words I do yeah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah.
