Song Video: Thorn In My Side

Thorn In My Side

I can�t forget the night
When the light came
A voice spoke into my heart,
And it changed my name.
Years have passed since then,
But it feels like yesterday
And that voice still speaks into my heart
And I can hear it say,
�My son, why don�t you listen
When I�m talkin� to you?
My son, why don�t you love me
Like you say that you do?
My arms are here to hold you
So please lay down your pride
But my embrace is gonna hurt you
�Cause you got a thorn in your side�

Chorus
It�s gettin� hard
To keep my hand on the plow
It�s gettin� hard
To run in the race
It�s gettin' hard
To stand in the battle
With this thorn in my side
Yeah, this thorn in my side

Sometimes the thorn is subtle
And I forget it�s there
Sometimes it cuts into me,
Feels like more than I can bear.
Sometimes it feels familiar
Just like a good ol� friend
Sometimes it seems to haunt me
Like a nightmare that won�t end
Will I choose to live or die now?
Sometimes I can�t decide
Times are hard this side of glory
With this thorn in my side

To Chorus

Bridge
Three times I asked my Lord
To take the thorn from me
He said, �It�s there to show you
That my grace is all you need
When pain overwhelms you
Just remember what I�ve said
And remember that I once wore
A crown of thorns on my head

I know it gets hard
To keep your hand on the plow
I know it gets hard
To run in the race
I know it gets hard
To stand in the battle
With a thorn in your side
Yeah, a thorn in your side
