Have Thine Own Way, Lord
Jim Reeves · The Best of Jim Reeves: 20 Gospel Favorites [IMPORT] [2002]
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.
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.
--- Instrumental ---
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being, absolute sway!
Filled with Thy spirit 'till all can see
Christ only, always, living in me...
