THE THORNS
OF THIS
OLE' WORLD
At times the
thorns of this ole' world
Seem sharp to
prick, their goal
To hinder as
a stumbling block
For pain to
cause my soul.
But Jesus lives
within my heart
And He always
rescues me
Yes my Salvation
is secure
Since the day
He set me Free.
This world and
all it's wickedness,
Many headed
for that fire
Lord help me
to remember that
There are wolves
in sheep's attire.
From 'New Age'
to 'philosophies'
False teachers
lead the blind
Yes all the
thorns of this ole' world
Oh so many
here to find.
Lord help me
in my daily walk
And ground me
in Your Word
Please shield
me from the many thorns
Those I've seen
and those I've heard.
If I do
stumble, lift me up
As You've done
so many times
Lord keep those
thorns away from me,
A far distance
from my side.
I do not
know just when the day
But our Saviour's
coming back
I won't mind
leaving this ole' world
For my soul
remains intact.
At times I
may grow weary of
Thorns satan
sends my way
But he can
never prick my soul
My Salvation's
here to stay !
No matter what,
I never doubt
God's Word I
understand
No one can
ever pluck me from
My Heavenly
Father's Hand !
So for times
the thorns of this ole' world
Disguised, that
seek to snare
Dear Lord there's
never been a doubt
That You've
always been right there.
