AMONG THORNS

Verse 1 

I walked through fields I didn’t own
Scattering dreams like seeds I’d sown
Never looking where they’d land
Chasing shadows through the sand

The sun was warm, the sky was wide
But whispers echoed deep inside
A gentle voice I couldn’t hear
Through the noise of every fear

Chorus 

Among thorns, my heart was hidden
Roots entangled, grace forbidden
But even where the wild winds blow
Your mercy found the seeds below
Among thorns… You didn’t turn away
You stayed… and cleared the way

Verse 2 

The years grew thick like brambles deep
Promises I failed to keep
Worries bloomed like weeds in spring
Crowding out Your everything

I tried to cut them on my own
But every thorn had wrapped a stone
I knelt in dust, too weak to stand
And felt You take me by the hand

Chorus 

Among thorns, my heart was hidden
Roots entangled, grace forbidden
But even where the wild winds blow
Your mercy found the seeds below
Among thorns… You didn’t turn away
You stayed… and cleared the way

Bridge 

(Instrumental can swell here)
You pulled the thorns that held me down
Poured Your rain upon this ground
And in the place where weeds had grown
A garden bloomed that You made Your own

Final Chorus 

Among thorns, You still were near
Planting hope where I sowed fear
Where the world would only see decay
Your light broke through the clay
Among thorns… You turned it all around
New life from hardened ground

(soft piano, cello, vocal close)
Among thorns… You stayed…
And made a garden where I strayed.
