"Thorns" lyrics

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

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

Suddenly I'm surrounded
By the lies that have confounded

Thorns –
Got to break away
Thorns –
Over my head
Thorns –
Choking the life away
Thorns –
Just like He said

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

Got to begin to break free
From the chains that bind me

Thorns –
Got to break away
Thorns –
Over my head
Thorns –
Choking the life away
Thorns –
Just like He said

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

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
