That's The Thing About Praise

When the rain you want is a flood instead

And the roses bloom, but they're not quite red

And when I reach the edge of my bravery

I'll still be singin' at the banks of an un-parted sea

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah

(The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to give it to You

(The only thing to do is just to give it to You)

And though my troubles shake me

I know they will never move You

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah

(Hallelujah)

That's why I say hallelujah

Hallelujah

There's what I want and then there's where I'm at

Every one step forward, it got me five steps back

And I cried, I called, God knows I prayed

But most days faith is climbin' up a mountain that stayed

That's why the only way through it is a hallelujah

(The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to hand it to You

(The only thing to do is just to hand it to You)

And although my troubles shake me

I know they could never move You

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah

(Hallelujah)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

That's why I say hallelujah

Hallelujah

It don't always fix your problems

But it'll tell you how small they are

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

It won't always move the mountain

But it's good for the heart

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

You'll never know what it's gonna change

But it'll always leave a mark

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

Yeah, I might see walls start fallin'

Or it might just change my heart

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise (Oh)

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise, woah

And the only way through it is a hallelujah

(The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to hand it to You

(The only thing to do is just to hand it to You)

And although my troubles shake me

I know they could never move You

The only way through it is a hallelujah

(Hallelujah)

That's the thing about praise

You never know what it'll change, change, change

That's why I say hallelujah

Hallelujah

Oh, that's the thing about praise

You don't even know what it's about to change (You never know what it'll change, change, change)

That's why I say hallelujah (Hey)

Hallelujah
