Blessing in the Thorn Songtext
von Phillips, Craig & Dean

I read about a man of God who gloried in his weakness
And I wish 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 and 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?

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 want to feel the blessing in the thorn
