1 Long my stubborn will kept saying to the Master, “I must have my way and do as I desire;” But when I beheld my suffering Redeemer, I surrendered and He sent the cleansing fire. Chorus: In the center of His will my soul is resting, Resting, from the strife that raged within my soul; Like a bird that found its nest, So my soul has found its rest In the center of the will of God. 2 In a perfect consecration I have yielded All my life and all my being to His will; Well I know tho’ He may lead me thro’ the valley, He will also lead me o’er the sunlit hill. [Chorus] 3 Fully yielded all my plans and my ambitions, Full yielded all my days and all my hours; On the altar both for sacrifice or service I have gladly placed my being’s ransomed pow’rs. [Chorus] 4 Nothing sweeter can be known than full surrender To the perfect will of God eternally; O how shall my lips sufficient praises render Unto Him who opened heav’n on earth to me! [Chorus] | Inspiring Gospel Solos and Duets No. 2 #87 (1948) |
