Verse 1:
G7 C-D
And I thank You, Lord
Bm Em
For the trials that come my way
Am D
In that way I can grow each day
G-G7
As I let You lead
C-D
And I thank You, Lord
Bm Em
For the patience those trials bring
Am-D
In that process of growing
G-G7
I can learn to care
Chorus:
C D
But it goes against the way I am
Bm Em
To put my human nature down
Am D G-G7
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
C
'Cause when those trials come
D Bm Em
My human nature shouts the thing to do
Am D G
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored
Verse 2:
And I thank You, Lord
With each trial I feel inside
That You're there to help lead and guide
Me away from wrong
'Cause you promised, Lord
That with every testing
That your way of escaping is
Easier to bear
Verse 3:
And I thank You, Lord
For the victory that growing brings
In surrender of everything
Life is so worthwhile
And I thank You, Lord
That when everything's put in place
Out in front I can see Your face
And it's there You belong
