The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#206

206. 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!
Whiter 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
Till all shall see
Christ only, always,
Living in me!
