I
didn't write this song, but I wish I was at the place in my walk with the Lord
that I could. I've sung it several times in church, mostly for myself. I don't
know if anyone else appreciated it much. Since I've been looking at The Weapons
for the Believer, specifically The Fruit of the Spirit, I have been very
convicted about the level of Patience that I display. Right. I know some of you
that know me just chuckled. I have no patience!
But, I want patience. The
following are the lyrics to a song that is hard to sing. Not musically hard, but
spiritually hard. If you can sing (or recite) these lyrics, and mean them, I
believe you are on your way to a deeper walk with Father. If you take time to
read them I'd like to know your thoughts. Either post here (even anonymously)
or Private Message me on FaceBook, Twitter, or any other means you can find.
"Thank You, Lord"
Verse 1:
Thank You, Lord, for the
trials that come my way,
In that way I can grow each
day as I let You lead.
Verse 2:
And I thank You, Lord, for
the patience those trials bring,
In that process of growing I
can learn to care.
Chorus:
But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down,
And let the Spirit take
control of all I do.
‘Cause when those trials
come my human nature shouts the thing to do
And God’s soft prompting can
be so easily ignored.
Verse 3:
And I thank You Lord for
each trial I feel inside
That You’re there to help
lead and guide me away from wrong
Verse 4:
And You promised, Lord, that
with every testing
That Your way of escaping is
easier to bear.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 5:
Yes, I thank You, Lord, for
the victory that growing brings,
In surrender of everything
life is so worthwhile.
Ending:
And, I thank You, Lord, that
when everything’s put in place
Out in front I can see Your
face, and it’s there You belong.
Thank You, Lord
