Lyrics

Verse 1

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, yielding and still.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

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!

Scriptural Foundations

Preference: NASB 2020
  • 8¶But now, Lord, You are our Father;

    We are the clay, and You our potter,

    And all of us are the work of Your hand.
