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.

I tend to remember this song just now cos I really want Jesus to save me from all my addictions.

I hope he does it cos I want him to accept me and mould me.

Have thine way Lord♥♥♥

This song brings back wonderful memories of worship as a child! It expresses my desire for today.

Oh to be that submissive!

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.

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.
