LORD,THANK YOU FOR THE THORNS

I thank you Lord for every thorn

Each heavy burden I have borne

The darkest moments of despair

And every cross I've had to bear

I'm glad I've suffered grief and pain

Those seasons of distress and strain

That stunned my pride and humbled me

And turned my stubborn heart to Thee

And thank You Lord, for every tear

I've shed for those I hold so dear

For 'tho I trusted you before

Each crisis made me love you more

For as the sorrows came and went

They left me tired, weak, and spent

With all my hope and courage gone

I could not make it on my own

'Twas then my prayers were most sincere

With tender hands You soothed my fears

And as my selfish will was purged

A stronger, deeper faith emerged

If mine had been a life of ease

And I could have lived the way I pleased

Lord,I might have never known the thrill

Of living in Thy holy will

The mountain tops, I must confess,

Were not where I was at my best

But in the shadow of the vale

Is where I came to know you well

So I thank you Lord, on bended knee

For everything you've given me

And when my life here on earth is through

I'll spend eternity in Heaven with you
