Darthurs - Thorn in My Flesh Lyrics

It started some decades ago in my past
A drama in which I was unwillingly cast
Anxiety clouded my mind so fast
Crying alone, how long it would last
Days turned to weeks, then months, then years
Tried acting happy while choking back tears
Each day was getting more lost in my fears
Started to hate who I saw in the mirror
My heart would start to skip a few beats
Then I got sick every time I would eat
My body would shiver, I'd crank up the heat
Convinced myself that death I would meet
I felt so stressed I couldn't unwind
Searching for answers, but few i would find
Reclusive at times, so lost in my mind
Thank God for my wife, she was always so kind

Please God take this thorn
Take this thorn from me
Please God take this thorn
Come heal and set me free
Please God take this thorn
Take it out of me
Please God take this thorn
Not mine but your will be

I remember one year I hit a low
I begged the Lord please let me go
It wasn't time so He said no
Some answers soon He'd send me though
Like Paul prayed to remove his thorn
The body and the mind gets worn
The younger me I'd often mourn
Broken me I'd view with scorn
Sick one morning I soon did wake
I knew my Lord would not forsake
Counsel and His grace I'd take
A plan for mercy He would make
Even though my body fails
Through all the weakness strength prevails
My saviors' hands were pierced with nails
The risen Christ, in Him I hail

Please God take this thorn
Take this thorn from me
Please God take this thorn
Come heal and set me free
Please God take this thorn
Take it out of me
Please God take this thorn
Not mine but your will be

Oh please God take this thorn
Take this thorn from me
Please God take this thorn
Come heal and set me free
Please God take this thorn
Take it out of me
Please God take this thorn
Not mine but your will be
