and i thank you lord

And I thank you Lord

For the trials that come my way

In that way I can grow each day

As I let you lead

And I thank you Lord

For the patience those trials bring

In that 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

Cause when those trials come

My human nature shouts the things to do

And God's soft prompting

Can be easily ignored




Yes I thank you Lord

For the vic-t'ry those trials bring

In surrender of ev'rything

Life is still worthwhile

And I thank you Lord

That when ev'rything's put in place

In that way I can see your face

And it's there you belong
