John Bryan - Saved by Thorns (feat. Caleb Mccampbell)

Serenity comes by your incessant
Ok

Serenity comes by your incessant plea
To accept my reality in your hands
It's your plan

Serenity comes by your incessant plea
To accept my reality in your hands
It's your plan

It's your
Plan
It's your plan
It's your plan

It's your
Plan
It's your plan
It's your plan

It's your
Plan
It's your plan
It's your plan
Yea

This where I'm at but was I
Any less surprised and bug eyed?
That part of the process is still feeling stuff beyond the shut eye
Subconscious terrors remind me of the pain from adolescence
And beyond the blessings externally
The turbulence of soul still exist
Was blaming circumstances
Was saying work was granite
To hard and stuck
With not much bucks to substantiate my planet
Was telling God I'm clammed in
And I don't see food
That nourishes my gifts and skill set beyond a called He's planted
So complicated
The levy in (Levine) a real (Avril) moment
Shows how hopeless
My hopes to out smart my God still lacks focus
Cause I show this willingness
To embrace poverty for show
Yet this smokescreen of self sufficiency and pride to God is bogus
And my hope is me realizing my disposition is a bonus to Him
Why do I show this to Him
Shame enters in to ruin
The fall feels greater when the progress I felt was major
Now condemnation puts up some points
Because I'm questioning if grace works

The Storm was so strong within
That when it came my fig leaves blew off in the wind
You left me naked at the cross
I am saved by your thorns
And without them we wouldn't have this bond
God without life's a loss
Without life's a loss
You left me naked at the cross
I am saved by your thorns
You're my maker and my breaker
And I'm lost without you

No one told me
No showed how much faith hurts
I believe but disbelief seems to sift up feelings I deserve
Or I think I do
So cycles of sin still hold me back from confidence
When I'm up to bat I'm striking out
Because I'm striking out subconsciously
Who do I have to blame now?
I've done made amends with Mom and Dad
I'm being paid for the Job I have
And the wife I have makes up for what I lack
In so many ways
Yet in so many ways I'm grumbling And discontent
You've stripped me of all excuses
And I'm confront with what the truth is
I'm broken, I'm powerless, and it's always been about me
I wanted everything my way
And so you ushered in my flogging
I've heard it said what you work deepest will shine the brightest
And what the light has done has showed me it's all about significance
For being rejected by both dad's in ignorance
And my Mom
And used by Ministers
So much church hurt to grease my palms
The cynicism I have towards self righteous pastors rings alarms
Inside that tell me I'm looking in a mirror
I've tried to fix the world to validate
I'm worth the blood he's given

The Storm was so strong within
That when it came my fig leaves blew off in the wind
You left me naked at the cross
I am saved by your thorns
And without them we wouldn't have this bond
God without life's a loss
Without life's a loss
You left me naked at the cross
I am saved by your thorns
You're my maker and my breaker
And I'm lost without you

God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
Living one day at a time
Enjoying one moment at a time
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace
Taking as Jesus did this sinful world as it is
Not as I would have it
Trusting that you will make all things right
If I surrender to your will
