About “Raise a Hallelujah - Live”
The song was born in prayer during a real crisis: in December 2017 the two-year-old son of Bethel Music's CEO contracted a life-threatening infection. Jonathan Helser wrote the song 'in the face of the giant' of unbelief and sent a recording that was played over the hospitalized boy, who recovered. Its inclusion on the album Victory was a last-minute decision.
