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
Yeah, 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 hand it to You
(The only thing to do is just to hand it to You)
And though my troubles shake me
I know they could 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 there's where I'm at
Every one step forward, got me five steps back
And I've cried, I've called, God knows I've 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 is gonna change (no, you don't)
But it'll always leave a mark
That's the thing about praise, yeah
That's the thing about praise (whoo)
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
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'll never know what it'll change, change, change
That's why I say, "Hallelujah, hallelujah"
