This Thorn Lyrics - Twila Paris

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
