Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring youA Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.
I am speaking today about another song that has shaped us. The Blessing In The Thorn. This song is drawn from Apostle Paul in II Corinthians12
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
The Blessing In The Thorn
Lyrics
I read about a man of God who gloried in his weakness
And I wished that I could be more like Him and less like me
Am I to blame for what I'm not?
Or is pain the way God teaches me to grow?
I need to know
When does the thorn become a blessing?
When does the pain become a friend?
When does the weakness make me stronger?
When does my faith make me whole again?
I want to feel His arms around me
In the middle of my raging storm
So that I can see the blessing in the thorn
I've heard it said the strength of Christ is perfect in my weakness
And the more that I go through, the more I prove the promise true
His love will go to any length
It reaches even now to where I am
But tell me once again
When does the thorn become a blessing?
When does the pain become a friend?
When does the weakness make me stronger?
When does my faith make me whole again?
I want to feel His arms around me
In the middle of my raging storm
So that I can see the blessing in the thorn
Lord, I have to ask You
On the cross You suffered through
Was there a time You ever doubted
What You already knew? Hmm
When does the thorn become a blessing?
When does the pain become a friend?
When does my weakness make me stronger?
When does my faith make me whole again?
I want to feel His arms around me
In the middle of my raging storm
So that I can see the blessing in the thorn
Oh, I want to see the blessing in the thorn
