Tenth Avenue North's song "Hallelujah" is a worship anthem that reflects on the awe and reverence of approaching God's presence. The lyrics express initial fear, not from terror, but from the holiness of God drawing the singer near. There is a deep sense of unworthiness and confession of sin, yet the song celebrates the sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, as the means to enter God's presence. It emphasizes hiding in the shadow of God's wings and finding refuge in Christ's wounds. The repeated hallelujahs proclaim gratitude for redemption and the privilege of seeing God's face.

At first I am afraid
But not because of fear
But the holy of holies is drawing me near
Your voice like thunder
Shakes the ground I'm on
So hide my face in the shadow of Your wings, oh Lord
Hide my sin from the beauty here before Your throne, Your throne
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face, yeah
We enter in to see Your face, oh God, mmmm...
Well I'm falling to my knees
I feel the earth beneath
With the weight of my sin and this crushing unbelief
Could You really love me
With all that I've done, oh Lord
So hide my face in the shadow of Your wings, oh Lord
Hide my sin from the beauty here before Your throne
So hide my face in the shadow of Your wings, oh Lord
Hide my sin from the beauty here before Your throne
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face, yeah
We enter in to see Your face, oh God, oh God
We sing Lord
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face, yeah
We enter in to see Your face, oh God
You spread Your hands
And made a refuge for the weak
And blessed the weary bruised and broken
Took us in
Inside Your wounds we hide away
Inside Your wounds we hide
You spread Your hands
And made a refuge for the weak
And blessed the weary bruised and broken
Took us in
Inside Your wounds we hide away
Inside Your wounds we hide
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face, yeah
We enter in to see Your face, oh God
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face, yeah
We enter in to see Your face, oh God
