Endless Alleluia

by Cory Asbury

Theology & Meaning

Endless Alleluia is an eschatological worship song — celebrating the unending, eternal praise that surrounds the throne of God and into which the church on earth is invited to join. The Revelation 19 pattern of the heavenly chorus crying 'Hallelujah' repeatedly provides the theological foundation. The song declares that the worship now offered is a participation in something eternal and will not cease when the service ends.

Worship Leadership Tips

Works powerfully as a closing declaration that frames the congregation's worship as part of the eternal chorus. Also effective mid-set when building to a peak of corporate declaration. Cory Asbury's genuine worship leadership quality — he seems to actually be worshiping — is the model for leading this song.

Arrangement Tips

Build from moderate to full band, allowing the 'alleluia' declarations to grow in intensity and joy. Cory Asbury's production tends to be warm and organic with some atmospheric qualities. A strong vocal performance on the chorus drives the congregational engagement. Allow the song to be genuinely joyful.
