That's The Thing About Praise

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
When I reach the edge
Of my bravery
I'll still be singing at the banks of an unparted 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 climbing 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

I might see walls start falling
Or it might just change my heart
That's the thing about praise
That's the thing about praise
That's the thing about praise
That's the thing about praise

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
Hallelujah, hallelujah praise

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

That's the thing about praise
You don't even know what it's about to change
That's why I say
Hallelujah, hallelujah
