THANK YOU, LORD,

THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR THE TRIALS THAT COME MY WAY,
IN THAT WAY I CAN GROW EACH DAY
AS I LEARN TO LIVE.

THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR THE PATIENCE THOSE TRIALS BRING,
IN THE CROSS THERE IS GROWING,
AS I LEARM TO SHARE.

BUT IF YOU'RE HASTY TO CHANGE MY WAYS
TO PUT MY HUMAN NATURE DOWN,
PLEASE LET YOUR SPIRIT TAKE CONTROL
OF ALL I DO.

CAUSE WHEN THOSE TRIALS COME
MY HUMAN NATURE SHOUT THE THINGS I DO
AND YOUR SOFT PROMPTINGS CAN BE
EASILY IGNORED.

BUT I THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR THE VICTORY THOSE TRIALS BRING,
TO SURRENDER EVERYTHING;
LIFE IS SO WORTHWHILE.

AND I THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR IN MY CROSS IS YOUR EMBRACE,
IN THE DARKNESS I SEE YOUR FACE,
FOR IN YOU I BELONG.

THANK YOU, LORD
