From http://www.essence.com/2011/10/28/5-questions-with-mali-music-on-his-gospel-debut/
..."Not comfortable with classifying his brand of inspirational hip-hop as only gospel, Mali says he believe he's on the verge of a new genre.
We spoke with the Georgia native about his church background, working with Akon, and working on his upcoming album, 'Mali Is."
ESSENCE.com: Where did the name Mali Music come from?
MALI MUSIC: My full name is Kourtney Jamaal Pollard, but in the South everyone calls me by my middle name, which is Jamaal. So you just jazz it up [laughs]. My little sister, mom, and dad say Mali-Mali, and then music is my weapon of choice, so it just stuck.
ESSENCE.com: Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into Gospel music?
MALI MUSIC: Well, I'm from Savannah, Georgia, and I am the minister of music at my church. This is where I wrote songs, produced, and sharpened my craft. The next thing you know the Mali Music was born. It started on Myspace, transferred to Youtube, and we're here today. It's just taken off."...

I added some instructions. Note that the composer probably purposely misspelled the word "Hallelujah".
Kudos to the transcriber. However, as is the case with most transcriptions of call & response songs, this transcription doesn't adequately convey the song's call & response pattern.
