Benjamin William Hastings - Thats the Thing About Praise 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
Sometimes 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)

There's what I want, and then there's where I'm at
Every one step forward, 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
Sometimes 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)

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
That's the thing about praise
You never know what it'll change, change, change
That's why I say hallelujah, hallelujah
