about
In our suffering, in our pain, we get to taste some of what God experienced in giving his son over to sin, death, and the loss of not having him. In this way, the roots of the gospel sink down deep into our soul. It’s a true gift in the midst of suffering. Our experience of God’s love grows and becomes more real when we can see a fuller picture of this collective sacrifice for us.
Paul expanding on the thorn in his flesh - Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
lyrics
V1:
Father I am, laid bare before you
Everything I have is yours
Though sorrow runs deep, and suffering remains
You are still with me when everything fades
V2:
Father in you, I have all I need
For you heard my cry, For you came to me
Though I cannot move, I struggle in pain
Yet my broken body still sings Your refrain
Chorus:
Let this thorn in my flesh lead me to the cross
Let your love sink down deep that I might taste the cost
For your Son took my sin in his death and loss
So, let this thorn in my flesh lead me to the cross
V3:
For naked I came and naked I leave
Though my life, a moment, your love covers me
For when I am weak, your power remains
Your grace is sufficient, your glory unchanged
