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.

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."

I will attempt to sing this masterpiece.... at a passing ceremony... Of a lovely gentle man.... thanks for allowing me to spruce up on the lyrics.

What a wonderful solemn song.

Have Thine own way Lord in our hearts. A mind that's sober, a submissive will, a burning and loving emotion and a conscience free of offense toward man and God. Work this out in all of us Lord Spirit. Amen.

Have Thine own way Lord always.

I remembered this song just as I was rounding off my quiet time, googled the song as I didn't know all the lyrics. This song has really blessed me and I believe it's God's direction for my life.

A gentle hymn of willing, loving submission to God in Christ, taken from the book of Jeremiah. I first sang this when I was a young born again Christian. To God be the glory!

Stanza 3 is different:

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;

Fully deliver

From self, I pray.

Break me and strip me;

Bring me to naught;

Dig through and empty,

Nor leave me aught.

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.
