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.

After reading and praying Isaiah 64 this morning, my heart and mind was drawn to this hymn. I don’t recall the last time our church sang the hymn. Beautiful words of prayer. Thanks for making the hymn available to enjoy and to be blessed by.

We need this song—and its sentiments—now more than ever in these uncertain times.

I've heard this hymn for many years usually as the preacher is asking the congregation to come forward to be saved, rededicate ones self to the Lord or just to kneel and pray. I never knew the lyrics and the part I thought I knew I was signing wrong. What a wonderful blessing to be able to learn the lyrics of this beautiful hymn. God is Great!

Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.

Mould me and make me

After Thy will.. Lord Jesus, mold me according to Your will! I’m just clay ready to be mold by You

Beautiful and refreshing song that can help us draw nigh unto God. and what He would have us do to worship, praise and serve Him best.

At my meditation this morning I was quietly waiting on God. I got the impression of a vessel, part earth and part clay. Then as I waited further I had a clear impression of this song and Father doing His divine work.

This is one of my favorite hymns. It expresses our inner desire to be Christ like in this present age and time.

May we ever be yielded to His merciful hand and wonderful plans for our lives.

This song really humbles me. It says exactly what I want to say to my Heavenly Father. Nothing I crave more than to be melted and molded into what He wants me to be today and for the world to see Christ in me......"till all can see Christ only always living in me."
