Can’t Praise Away the Mourning

[Verse 1]
Can't praise away the mourning
You gotta let it have its way
You're never gonna grow if you don't stand out in the rain
And that wound is gonna fester
If you try to hide it with a smile
Your prayer might make it better
But it's gonna take a while

[Verse 2]
And how you gonna rest if you don't ever stop?
What becomes your refuge is what becomes your god
You could tow the line of looking fine
And you'll fine yourself unknown

[Chorus]
You've gotta let your weakness show
You can't live the resurrection if you avoid the grave
A faith that don't reach down and a faith that can save
But there's freedom in surrender when you give up the ghost
You'll never sit at the table while you're tryna be the host

[Verse 3]
And when you're wrestling with the angel
You better wait for the sun
And you don't walk with a limp yet
Then the Father isn't done
There's still time till morning light
For you to lay your burdens down
And see your weakness as your crown

[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
And if you feel like you're weak
Don't worry, God, is, too
His weakness is the power that He's tryna give to you
And when the triumph feels like victory
But only in name
Just remember that the Lion is the Lamb that was slain

[Chorus]
Beauty only comes from the ashes of defeat
And carrying our losses
God's form in you and me
And mountaintops are great
But the valleys are where things grow
We gotta let our weakness show
