A thorn in the flesh,
one only I can see . . .
an affliction running
throughout all of me.

A constant reminder,
of my own weakness
a steady remembrance
of God’s goodness.

A thorn in the flesh,
making me stronger
pulling me to Jesus
even more closer.

A constant reminder,
of His great power
a changeless recalling
He’s with me every hour.

A thorn in the flesh,
causing me to seek . . .
the strength of Jesus
when I’m too weak!

~~~~~

2 Corinthians 12:7

And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the
abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn
in the flesh, the messenger of
Satan to buffet me, lest I should
be exalted above measure.
