Greg Ward - Hallelujah Express (2:30)
About Hallelujah Express
Songwriter Fran MacLeran befriended Pat, an office cleaning lady. Pat suffered a stroke and returned to work sooner than she probably should have. Several months later, on a Friday night, Fran realized Pat was looking much better and said to Pat: “you look so much better”, to which Pat responded: “thank God, I do feel much better”.
That next morning Fran woke and had this strong urge to write. She looked through her “hook book” and Hallelujah Express really spoke to her, and Fran wrote Hallelujah Express. On Monday morning Fran met a mutual friend who said: “did you hear what happened to Pat?” That’s when Fran was told that Pat died about 30 after speaking with Fran.
A week later Fran went to the “Going Home” service for Pat, which was the first Going Home service she ever attended. The preacher was telling the story that Fran had told in Hallelujah Express. That’s when Fran realized whom her co-writer was, the best co-writer anyone can have.
