Angela Spivey These Thorns Lyrics

There are thorns in my flesh,
I can't seem to overcome,
and these thorns in my flesh,
just keep on hindering me.
Lord, I really want to be
everything You want me to be,
so I'm begging You, Lord,
please remove these thorns.

chorus1:There are thorns in my flesh,I can't seem to overcome,and these thorns in my flesh, just keep on hindering me,Lord I really want to be, everything you want me to be, so please remove these thorns.

Verse 2:
Lord I took, I took Your words
and I hid it, I hid it in my heart
so I could live as You commanded.
And this world won't tear it apart,
You said every promise You would keep,
if I would lay all of my sins,
if I would lay them at Your feet;
so I'm begging You Lord,
please remove these thorns.

Chorus 2:
Take them away, (so I can live holy),
take them away, (so I can live righteous).

Take them away, (Lord, I want to live holy),
take them away, (Lord, I want to live righteous). (Repeat)

(These sins that are blocking my blessings)
(that nobody,nobody,nobody knows but you and me),
oh, Lord, please remove these thorns.

Chorus 2:
If You take them away, (if You take them away I can walk in Your glory),
take them away, (I'll have power to tell Your story).

Take them away, (claim every promise You gave to me),
take them away, (I'll go on and witness my victory).

If You take them away, (I'll do Your will both night and day),
take them away, (Ill give Your holy name,your name the praise).

If You take them away, (I'll try Lord, but I can't do it by myself),
take them away, (that's why I'm pleading,pleading for Your help).

Oh, Lord, please remove these thorns,
oh, Lord, please remove these thorns,
oh, Lord, please remove these thorns.

Vamp:
Oh, Lord.

Ending:
Oh, Lord, please remove these thorns
