Jaxon Maverick Phoenix - Thorn In My Side Lyrics

I've been draggin' this thing around for years,
Like a stone in my shoe, a wound that never clears.
It's quiet sometimes, but it's always there,
A part of me I can't repair.

I've tried to fix it, hide it, fight it,
But every time, I just collide with it.
It's heavier than it oughta be,
And it keeps remindin' me I'm not free.

It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go,
Of the thorn I've carried, cutting me deep.
I'm layin' it down where His love meets my pain,
Might not be healed, but I'm callin' His name.
It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go.

There's days when I feel like I'm doin' just fine,
Then it pulls me back, messin' with my mind.
I thought by now it'd be over, done,
But maybe this fight ain't one I can outrun.

I've prayed the prayers, I've cried the tears,
Worn the mask, played strong for years.
But this thorn's part of the plan somehow,
And I'm just learnin' to live with it now.

It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go,
Of the thorn I've carried, cutting me deep.
I'm layin' it down where His love meets my pain,
Might not be healed, but I'm callin' His name.
It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go.

Maybe His grace shines through the cracks,
In the places I'm weak, He's holdin' me back.
I wanted it gone, but He's askin' me to see,
There's beauty even in what's broken in me.

It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go,
It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go,
Of the thorn I've carried, cutting me deep.
I'm layin' it down where His love meets my pain,
Might not be healed, but I'm callin' His name.
It ain't easy, but I'm lettin' go.
