That's the Thing About Praise

Hallelujah, hallelujah

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 thing to do is just to give 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)

Hallelujah, hallelujah

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

Every one step forward, and 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

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah

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

And although 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

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

(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)

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**

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

Woah, the only way through it is a hallelujah

(Hallelujah)

Sometimes 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 don't even know what it's about to change

That's why I say hallelujah

Hallelujah

That's why I say hallelujah

Hallelujah

Oh-oh
