[Verse 1]
N.C. Cmaj7 D
Thank You, Lord
Bm E7
For the trials that come my way
Am7 D7
In that way I can grow each day
G
As I let You lead.
N.C. Cmaj7 D
And thank You, Lord
Bm E7
For the patience those trials bring
Am7 D7
In that process of growing
G F
I can learn to care.
[Chorus]
F Cmaj7 D
But it goes against the way I am
Bm Em
To put my human nature down
Am7 D7 G F
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
F Cmaj7
‘Cause when those trials come
D Bm Em
My human nature shouts the thing to do;
Am7 D7 G
And God’s soft prompting can be easily ignored.
[Verse 2]
N.C. Cmaj7 D
I thank You Lord
Bm E7
With each trial I feel inside,
Am7 D7
That you’re there to help lead and guide
G
Me away from wrong,
N.C. Cmaj7 D
‘Cause You promised, Lord,
Bm E7
That with every testing
Am7 D7
That Your way of escaping
G F
Is easier to bear.
[Chorus]
F Cmaj7 D
But it goes against the way I am
Bm Em
To put my human nature down
Am7 D7 G F
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
F Cmaj7
‘Cause when those trials come
D Bm Em
My human nature shouts the thing to do;
Am7 D7 G
And God’s soft prompting can be easily ignored.
[Verse 3]
N.C. Cmaj7 D
I thank You, Lord,
Bm E7
For the vic’try that growing brings,
Am7 D7
In surrender of ev’rything
G F
Life is so worthwhile.
Cmaj7 D
And I thank You, Lord,
Bm Em
That when ev’ry-things put in place,
Am7 D
Out in front I can see Your face
G
And it’s there You belong!
