Let's truly slow down today and consider our own hearts. This reverent hymn can be our prayer.
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. (Adelaide Pollard, 1907)
A beautiful old hymn by Adelaide Pollard, "Have Thine Own Way" expresses such beautiful thoughts . . . I truly want to be molded and made according to His will, and to have Christ only (and always) seen in me. I tested several videos before I chose this one; so many were recorded in a sing-song kind of way and did not seem to have the reverence that I feel the author had in mind. The video below is the more prayerful way of singing that I was looking for. As we end our "Anger Management 101" study, it's my hope that we all will strive to be more like our Savior.
Hope this will bless all who pause here to read the words and hear the song.
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.
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.
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.
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.
