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 the 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 easily ignored.

But I thank you Lord,
With each trial I feel inside
That Tou're there to help, lead and guide
Me away from wrong
'cos you promised, Lord,
That with every testing
That your way of escaping's easier to bear.

Yes I thank you, Lord.
For the vict'ry 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 You belong.
