[Verse 1]
There was a time when I knew Your voice
It was as real as a dollar bill
There was a time when I know Your way
It was something I could just feel
There was a time when I knew Your word
And it was always on my lips
There was a time when I knew Your will
How could I ever forget?
[Chorus]
But I fell among thorns
And I got caught in the weeds
I fell among thorns
Now the world is choking me
[Verse 2]
There was a time when I showed Your love
I would even go out of my way
There was a time when I loved my neighbor
In a Samaritan kind of way
And there was a time when I wanted to give
With never a thought to take
There was a time when learning to live
Meant dying to my selfish ways
[Chorus]
But I fell among thorns
And I got caught in the weeds
Oh, I fell among thorns
Now the world is choking me
Since I fell among thorns
And I need You desperately
'Cause I fell among thorns
And the world is choking me
[Bridge]
Where did my first love go?
Show me the path of return
Things that I used to know
I find that I need to relearn
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
There was a time when seeking Your face
Was something I wanted to do
And there was time when all of my time
Was spent getting closer to You
[Chorus]
But I fell among thorns
And I got caught in the weeds
Oh, I fell among thorns
And I need You desperately
Since I fell among thorns
O Lord, won't You rescue me?
'Cause I fell among thorns
Now the world is choking me
Oh, thorns
[Outro]
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns (fell among thorns)
Fell among thorns (rescue, rescue me)
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns (oh, I got caught in the weeds)
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns (I fell among thorns)
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns
Fell among thorns (rescue, rescue, rescue me)
Fell among thorns
