Thorns

There was a time when I knew Your voice It was as real as a dollar bill There was a time when I know Your way; it was something I could just feel There was a time when I knew Your word, and it was always on my lips There was a time when I knew Your will, how could I ever forget But I fell among thorns I got caught in the weeds I fell among thorns, now the world is choking me There was a time when I showed your love, I would even go out of my way There was a time when I loved my neighbor in a Samaritan kind of way There was a time when I wanted to give with never a thought to take There was a time when learning to live meant dying to my selfish ways But I fell among thorns I got caught in the weeds I fell among thorns, now the world is choking me Where did my first love go? Show me the path of return The things that I used to know I find that I need to re-learn There was a time when seeking Your face was something I wanted to do And there was time when all of my time was spent getting closer to You But I fell among thorns I got caught in the weeds I fell among thorns, now the world is choking me
