There was a time when I knew Your voice It was as real as a dollar bill There was a time when I knew 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 But I fell among thorns And I got caught in the weeds I fell among thorns Now the world is choking me 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 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 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 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 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 Oh Lord, won't You rescue me 'Cause I fell among thorns Now the world is choking me (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) I fell among thorns (Fell among thorns) (Fell among thorns) Rescue, rescue, rescue me
