The gospel
No strings attached
No bait-and-switch
There’s plenty of other YouTube free hugs videos. I particularly like this one with the Leonard Cohen Hallelujah lyrics:
…
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahThere was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahMaybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahYou say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahI did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah

I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement, Sue. eHugs.
I particularly like this song. 🙂
God Bless.
It’s a good song IMO, Claudia. eHugs.
This whole video resonates so deeply for me. Seeing how at first the people hesitate… and once one person takes the risk of the “free hug” and then another… and you can see the joy catch hold. And YES… 🙂 !!!
I think this will stay with me all day….
I can’t explain why, but this touched something within and made me weep.
I’m now inspired to give out Free Hugs too!
