Thorns
by Doug Anderson

Album: The Only One

Every heart that's beating will get broken
I've had my share of tears and shattered dreams
Times that I prayed why and got no answers
But I found Your grace sufficient for me

You tell us to give thanks in all things
And that's the kind of heart that I want, Lord
Looking back this moment on some hard times
I'm grateful for the faith that You have formed
A thousand times I've thanked You for my roses
Today I'm saying thank You for the thorns

I've learned that You're my shelter
When the storm comes
Not to fear what I can't understand
'Cause there are just some things
That are above me
But even then, they're in Your hands

You tell us to give thanks in all things
And that's the kind of heart that I want, Lord
Looking back this moment on some hard times
I'm grateful for the faith that You have formed
A thousand times I've thanked You for my roses
Today I'm saying thank You for the thorns

Yeah, oh...

You tell us to give thanks in all things
And that's the kind of heart that I want, Lord
Looking back this moment on some hard times
I'm grateful for the faith that You have formed
A thousand times I've thanked You for my roses
Today I'm saying thank You for the thorns
