Raise a Hallelujah - Studio Version
About “Raise a Hallelujah - Studio Version”
The song began in a spontaneous moment of worship and prayer as Jonathan David and Melissa Helser responded to news that Jaxon Taylor, the young son of Bethel Music CEO Joel Taylor, was critically ill with an E. coli infection. Helser recorded a nearly complete version and sent it to Joel, who played it on repeat over his son's hospital bed, and Jaxon went on to make a full recovery. The live version was a late addition to Bethel's 2019 album Victory, and this studio version followed on March 8, 2019 as the single that carried the song to Christian radio.
