Twila Paris Album: Cry for the Desert Track: This Thorn
This Thorn Lyrics
Thank you for this torn embedded in my flesh I can feel the mystery my spirit is made fresh You are sovereign still and forever wise I can see the miracle opening my eyes To a proud heart so quick to judge Laying down crosses and carrying grudges The veil has been torn And I thank you for this thorn
Thank you for this thorn fellowship of pain Teaching me to know you more never to complain Thank You for this love planted in my side Faithful patient miracle opening my eyes
I never thought I'd say it without reservation But I am truly grateful for this piercing revelation Of a proud heart so quick to judge Laying down crosses and carrying grudges The veil has been torn And I thank you for this thorn
And if You chose to take it, I will praise You ANd thank You for the healing in your name But if it must remain, I thank You for Your rod Evidence of Father-love for a child of God I join you in sorrow So much less than You have borne And I thank you Really I thank You Lord I thank You I thank You for this thorn
