Make me a captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 122 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:9-10 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free; force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move, till thou hast forged its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.
