[Uproot the Thorny Thicket]

[Uproot the Thorny Thicket]
[Verse1]
In the heart's thorny thicket overgrown, entangled in worldly cares so deep
Word's fragile sprout rises then chokes, withers without fruit in sorrow's keep
Temptations of wealth and fame pierce like thorns, aching wounds that never heal
Uproot them, burn with Spirit's fire, let freedom's dawn reveal
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, uproot this thorny snare divine
With faith's sharp blade, sever and refine, let love's roots anchor in design
Abundant fruits in glory we shall bear, heaven's joy overflowing there
Hallelujah, toward New Jerusalem we race with fervent prayer
[Verse2]
Sabbath kept yet burdened by flesh's fret, peace eludes in anxious night
God's blessings veiled by worry's net, doors of grace shut from sight
Selfish thorns sprout in service's guise, piercing souls with hidden spite
Uproot greed's deep-seated hold, wash with grace's cleansing tide
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, uproot this thorny snare divine
With faith's sharp blade, sever and refine, let love's roots anchor in design
Abundant fruits in glory we shall bear, heaven's joy overflowing there
Hallelujah, toward New Jerusalem we race with fervent prayer
[Verse3]
Wandering in lures of gain's deceit, forsaking paths of righteous light
Ignoring wisdom from heaven's seat, captive to carnal thoughts' dark might
Lives crumble like sands in tempest's rage, thorns of pride in mournful plight
Uproot arrogance's stubborn stem, melt with humility's tearful flight
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, uproot this thorny snare divine
With faith's sharp blade, sever and refine, let love's roots anchor in design
Abundant fruits in glory we shall bear, heaven's joy overflowing there
Hallelujah, toward New Jerusalem we race with fervent prayer
[Verse4]
Evil and flesh's roots entrenched so profound, birthing thoughts of carnal vein
Pull the great roots of greed and pride unbound, lesser tendrils follow in train
Enlightenment's ray pierces the gloom, thorns' pain echoes in heartfelt pain
Uproot every piercing spike, by Spirit's power, break the chain
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, uproot this thorny snare divine
With faith's sharp blade, sever and refine, let love's roots anchor in design
Abundant fruits in glory we shall bear, heaven's joy overflowing there
Hallelujah, toward New Jerusalem we race with fervent prayer
[Verse5]
Thorns uprooted, fertile soil now gleams, Word's harvest blooms in radiant array
Rivers of true bliss in endless streams, eternal splendor lights the way
No backward glance, forward we surge with zeal, pearl gates shine in golden ray
Hallelujah, children of God arise, in heaven's crown forever stay
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, uproot this thorny snare divine
With faith's sharp blade, sever and refine, let love's roots anchor in design
Abundant fruits in glory we shall bear, heaven's joy overflowing there
Hallelujah, toward New Jerusalem we race with fervent prayer1.7s
