lyrics

words & music by Stephen Bautista

i've been redeemed
completely clean
of every sin from first to last

but i still struggle with
the temporal consequence
of my transgressions from the past

sometimes it's more than i can take
when i suffer the thorn of all my mistakes

but when i pray this thorn be removed
he answers "my grace is sufficient for you"

chorus
he's the source of my hope and rest
the fount of all my relief
and though i live with this thorn in my flesh
he has given
grace beyond my need


sometimes i seek
my own remedy
in hopes to cure what ails this fool

but the end result
is just like pouring salt
on all my self-inflicted wounds

then i fall down on my knees
and turn to my lord and cry for relief

that's when i know that this thorn remains
to remind me to trust and lean on his grace

chorus

i know that this thorn remains
to teach me to trust and lean on his grace

chorus
