Thank You Lord

And I thank you Lord
For the trials that come my way
In the way I can grow each day
As I let you lead
And I thank you Lord
For the patience that trials bring
In the process of growing
I can learn to care

But it goes against the way I am
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
But when those trials come
My human nature shouts the thing to do
And God’s soft prompting can easily be ignored

But I thank you Lord
With each trial I feel inside
That you’re there to help and lead
Guide my way from wrong
Cause you promised Lord
That with every testing
That your way of escaping
Is easier to bear

And I thank you Lord
For the victory that growing brings
In surrender of everything
Life is so worthwhile
And I thank you Lord
That when everything’s put in place
Out in front I can see your face
And it’s there I belong
