Have Thine Own Way, Lord

Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay!
Mold me and make me, 
After Thy will,
While I am waiting,
Yielded and still.


Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord,
Wash me just now,
As in Thy presence 
Humbly I bow.


Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, Help me, I pray!
Power, all power 
Surely is Thine! 
Touch me and heal me, 
Savior divine.


Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being Absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit
Till all shall see
Christ only, always
Living in me.
(Words: Adelaide A. Pollard & Music: George C. Stebbins)

This song has been on my mind this week, and I wanted to share it with you.  Sometimes it's nice to read the words of such a great hymn as sometimes when we sing it we don't pay attention to the great words of truth we're singing.
