That's The Thing About Praise

By Benjamin William Hastings

Lyrics

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

 

That’s the thing about praise

You don’t even know what it’s about to change

That’s why I say

Hallelujah, hallelujah
