In “Thorns,” American Christian artist Katy Nichole unveils a raw and moving reflection on pain, grace, and God’s redemptive power. Drawing inspiration from the apostle Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” Katy crafts a personal narrative of how God uses brokenness for glory. Her honest lyrics open a window into the struggles many face silently, turning suffering into a sacred space for healing.
The song’s acoustic-driven melody and emotional vocal delivery create a tender, stripped-back sound that complements its heartfelt message. Katy’s voice carries both vulnerability and strength, offering comfort to anyone feeling unseen or burdened by life’s hardships. It’s not a lament without hope—it’s worship born in the valley.
“Thorns” speaks to those wrestling with unanswered prayers, reminding them that God is still present, even in the painful places. Katy Nichole doesn’t shy away from life’s complexity—instead, she lets it bloom into something beautiful for the soul.
Lyrics of Thorns – Katy Nichole
Perfectly imperfect that’s as good as it gets
I really love Jesus but sometimes I’m a mess
Can’t meet a standard that’s better than my best
Cause I’m just tryin’ survivin’ holdin’ on by a thread
I can’t be who you want me to be
That’s not me
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don’t have to look too far to see that I’m flawed
Yeah most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars
I’ve got mine you’ve got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns
Sometimes it’s brutal being honest to God
But I can’t pretend to be somethin’ that I’m not
Growing from soil like a flower in bloom
What’s broken now will become beautiful soon
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don’t have to look too far to see that I’m flawed
Yeah most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars
I’ve got mine you’ve got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns
Broken, fallen, chosen all the same
The light can still shine through the deepest pain
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don’t have to look too far to see that I’m flawed
Yeah most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars
I’ve got mine you’ve got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns
