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 Ya
 (The only thing to do is just to give it to Ya)
 And though my troubles shake me
 I know they will never move Ya
 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 Ya
 (The only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya)
 And although my troubles shake me, I know they could never move Ya
 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 ya 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 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
 Whoa-oh-oh, 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 Ya
 (The only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya)
 And though my troubles shake me, I know they could never move Ya
 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 when it's about to change (change, change, change)
 That's why I say hallelujah, hallelujah
