Analysis of Thorns
In my careless hours
I stumbled from the truth
And found myself a captive of
A very evil root
Its not that I had not been warned
Or shown a better way
Decisions That I made back then
Regret them to this day
The thorns that Jesus sent to me
They brought me back around
And challenged me to recognize
The treasures I have now
