Thorns
by Petra

Album: Hope

Verse 1
Such a cruel deception, false security
Nothing I can't handle, thinking I was free
Promises of fortune, dreams of earthly gain
Never satisfying, driving me insane

Verse 2
In my mind consumption, filled with earthy cares
No room to consider heavenly affairs
Over time, seduction, nothing I can see
Coming to my senses, I'm no longer free

Pre-Chorus
Suddenly I'm surrounded
By the lies that have confounded

Chorus
Thorns, got to break away
Thorns, over my head
Thorns, choking the life away
Thorns, just like He said

Verse 3
Where I seek my treasure, there my heart will be
Will it last a lifetime or eternity?
Chasing empty visions, blinded by desire
Thirsting for the pleasure found in something higher

Pre-Chorus
Got to begin to break free
From the chains that bind me

Chorus
Thorns, got to break away
Thorns, over my head
Thorns, choking the life away
Thorns, just like He said

Instrumental Break

Bridge
In the garden of my heart
I find the weeds have grown
Tangled up in false desire
I can't do this alone
With His strength, I'll rise again
Leaving thorns behind
Walking in His freedom
Peace within my mind

Chorus
Thorns, got to break away
Thorns, over my head
Thorns, choking the life away
Thorns, just like He said
Thorns, got to break away
Thorns, over my head
Thorns, choking the life away
Thorns, just like He said
