Thorn In My Pride - J. A. Abele
When I’m out in the world
Trying to reach a new height
Sidestepping Your direction
But not hidden from Your sight
When I’ve made the wrong selection
When I end up in a fight
When my stubbornness loathes correction
Convinced my wrong is right
Please let Your Holy Spirit
Help my anger to subside
Remind me of forgiveness
That Your arms are open wide
When I’ve hurt the ones You love
Help me quickly apologize
Remind me You still love me too
Please Jesus, be the thorn in my pride
When everything around me
Warns to look out for myself
When distractions overtake me
And put Your Word upon a shelf
When my pursuit of happiness
Omits those who need my help
When I gamble for petty gain
Forgetting the hand that You were dealt
Let Your Holy Spirit
Dwell in me and be my guide
Convict me of my selfishness
In Your Word I will abide
Bring me to my knees in prayer
Like the soldier who pierced Your side
When I forget how much You love me
Jesus, be the thorn in my pride
J.A. Abele
