145. Have Thine Own Way, Lord

1 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.

2 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Search me and try me,
Master, today!
Purer than snow, Lord,
Wash me just now,
As in thy presence
Humbly I bow.

3 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!

4 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Hold o’er my being
Absolute sway!
Fill with thy Spirit
’Til all shall see
Christ only, always,
Living in me!
