Thank You Lord (For The Trials That Come My Way)

Thank You Lord
For the trials that come my way
In that way I can grow each day
As I let You lead
And thank You Lord
For the patience those trials bring
In that process of growing
I can learn to care

But it goes against the way I am
To put my way human nature
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
'Cause when those trials come
My human nature shout the thing to do
And God's soft prompting
Can be easily ignored

Thank You Lord
With each trial I feel inside
That You're there to help, lead and guide
Me away from wrong
For You promised, oh Lord
That with every testing
That Your way of escaping
Is easier to bear

But it goes against the way I am
To put my way human nature
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
'Cause when those trials come
My human nature shout the thing to do
And God's soft prompting
Can be easily ignored

Thank You Lord
For the victory those trials bring
In surrender of everything
Life is so worth while
And I thank You Lord
That when everything put in place
Out in front I can see Your face
And it's there You belong

But it goes against the way I am
To put my way human nature
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
'Cause when those trials come
My human nature shout the thing to do
And God's soft prompting
Can be easily ignored

So give me strength to do thy holy will my Lord
Oh give me strength to do thy holy will my Lord
My Lord...
