[Verse 1]
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 them banks of an un-parted sea

[Chorus]
Sometimes the only way through it is a 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
Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah
That's why I say hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Verse 2]
There's what I want and then thеre's where I'm at
Evеry one step forward, 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

[Chorus]
That's why the only way through it is a hallelujah
Sometimes the only thing to do is just to hand it to You
Yeah, and although my troubles shake me
I know they could never move You
Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah
Yeah, and that's why I say hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Bridge]
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 don't always move those mountains
But it's good for the heart
That's the thing about praise
That's the thing about praise
You 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
And yeah, I might see walls start fallin'
Or it might just change my heart
That's the thing about praise
The thing about praise
That's the thing about praise
The thing about praise

[Chorus]
Sometimes the only way through it is a 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
Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah
[Outro]
That's the thing about praise
Never know what it'll change, change, change
That's why I say hallelujah
Hallelujah
That's the thing about praise
You never know what it'll change, change change
That's why I say hallelujah, now
Hallelujah
