A priest stunned an Irish couple by breaking out into song with a surprise rendition of Hallelujah at their wedding, leaving the bride crying with joy.

Father Ray Kelly surprised Chris and Leah O'Kane with the note-perfect performance during their marriage ceremony at Oldcastle, Meath in Ireland.

The video of Father Kelly's heartwarming performance was then uploaded to Youtube on Monday making the priest an internet hit after having 240,000 viewings in just two days.

I think Cohen's a prophet - his music and writings have stress a longing for the spiritual. Did you go to the link and read the article?

Cohen gave that library speech almost 50 years ago...before his first song was recorded. It was the speech of a young man who felt his current religious leaders were putting God in a small box... and expressed his desire and longing for a more authentic closeness with God.

I didn’t propose that singing either Cohen’s lyrics or the Song of Songs in Church is appropriate.

Your post is known as a straw man.

Yes, I believe the song is about ‘the girl he never found’...or she's a metaphor for distance from the Divine...
