Kirk Franklin - Beautiful Thorns (Live) Lyrics

Kirk Franklin Lyrics

"Beautiful Thorns (Live)"

Jesus, please heal my emotions
I wake up feeling afraid
I try so hard to control them
Worried 'bout what's next to come my way

Will I recover?
Will I get over?
God, here I am, I need a change

Cleanse me in Your fire
Wash me in Your flames
Purify desires
That get in Your way
Can You lift me higher?
I'm dying to escape
Whatever is not like You
I'll bring it everyday
Till You take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Every day I pray
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away

Jesus, please just make me closer
Things I love get in the way
Lord, when will this fight be over?
Feels like I'm losing every day

Will I get better?
And the old man die forever
God, here I am, I need a change

Cleanse me in Your fire
Wash me in Your flames
Purify desires
That get in Your way
Can You lift me higher?
I'm dying to escape
Whatever is not like You
I'll bring it every day
Till You take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Every day I pray
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away

But if it doesn't change
And the pain in me remains
Will I praise You anyway?
When I'm weak and I'm afraid
But whatever You choose
If it keeps me close to You
Just make it beautiful
But until You're through I'm asking You please

Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Every day I pray
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away

Cleanse me in Your fire
Heal this endless pain
I been praying like forever
But the battle feels the same
Help me to remember
Sufficient is Your grace
Is this the price I pay?
For You to use me every day

Cleanse me in Your fire
Wash me in Your flames
Purify desires
That get in Your way
Can You lift me higher?
I'm dying to escape
Whatever is not like You
I'll bring it every day

Till You take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away
Take this thorn away

Take this thorn away (Oh, He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)

Take this thorn away (Oh, He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)

Take this thorn away (Oh, He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)

Take this thorn away (Oh, He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)
Take this thorn away (He's working for my good)

Jesus, please heal my emotions
I wake up feeling afraid
