Have Thine own way, Lord

1
Have Thine own way, Lord,
  Have Thine own way;
Thou art the Potter,
  I am the clay.
Mould 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.

I sought this hymn this morning as I am praying for the Lord to help me as I help my daughter. I am not sure of how to help, other than pray. I am beseeching God to Have His Own Way in my life and in hers. Please Lord Help.

This song came to me early this morning as I watch the sun rising in my porch. It brings tears to my eyes, as I can only think of the Savior who created this beautiful day! Praise You, LORD!

As I was praying for family members this morning, a few lyrics from this old hymn came to mind. I had forgotten many of the words, so quickly looked them up online, and was so blessed to reconnect with this wonderful hymn of surrender that I learned as a child, growing up in the church.

I was equally moved and inspired by reading the comments of many others, from all over the world, whom the Lord has spoken to through bringing this song to mind during their own times of quiet reflection and prayer.

I am so thankful for a faithful God who meets us so personally where we're at, in the muck and mire of life's challenges, and reminds us that our ONLY hope is found in complete surrender of every part of our lives to His gracious, sovereign hand. Thank You Jesus, for caring so so deeply!

I sang this song in church as a young girl. In my time with the Lord, sensing His presence, so near this morning, I remembered the song again. It is so personal and intimate. It is so my prayer that I would be filled with God’s spirit until I can see Christ only always living in me.

This song was on my heart this morning and I needed to sing every verse and write them all in my journal. Thank you Lord God almighty for saving me, keeping me, & blessing me. Mold me and make me after thy will while I am waiting yielded and still. In Jesus name, Amen.

I sang this song many times growing up in a Christian school. 10 years back (2013) meditated on this song in my quiet time. I happened to open this in my hymnal (in Telugu translation) when my heart is filled with Africa and potential onboarding of missionaries and opening work in Ivory Coast. What touched my heart again is that Sister Adelaide wrote this when she wanted to go to Africa and could not raise funds to go.
