Verse 1
Thorn in my flesh, piercing my side
Truths about myself I no longer can hide
I tried to camouflage, keep it concealed
But the Spirit exposed it, to my Father revealed
Chorus
Wrapped around me, chains I designed
Jesus freed me, but I’m still confined
Doors wide open, yet here I reside
Free in His mercy, imprisoned inside
Verse 2
From freedom back into oppression I’ve turned
Drowning in sorrow from lessons unlearned
Depression whispers, I’ve spurned a friend
Running from grace I don’t want to end
Chorus
Wrapped around me, chains I designed
Jesus freed me, but I’m still confined
Doors wide open, yet here I reside
Free in His mercy, imprisoned inside
Bridge
East to the west, it was thrown away
Still I can find it calling my name
From a seed in the soil of doubt and fear
It grew to a mountain towering near
Breakdown / Soft Chorus
Thorn in my flesh, piercing my side
Truths about myself I no longer can hide
Final Chorus
Wrapped around me, chains I designed
Jesus freed me, but I’m still confined
I know the truth, I’ve heard His call
Yet I keep building my own prison walls
Outro
Thorn in my flesh…
But grace still stands beside
