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.

"Thine own way" is a revelation of God! He has a way, and I have a way. Do I invite Him into my way, or let His way have preeminence in all things? Jesus before He went to the cross prayed with an exceeding sorrowful soul, "not as I will, but as You will". "Our Father...thy will be done..." in me as it is in Your heart!

Lord, don't let us win but gain our surrender to You. Gain our entire being until we hold nothing back. Continue saving us all our days.

It's a song of peaceful surrender. Times of surrender are times of breakthroughs for Christians. They are milestones of victories.

We are not our own, but belong to Him, our Lord and Savior.

Lord, have Thine own way! You are our Potter and we are Your clay! Lord mold us and shape us that we might only see You! Touch us Lord that we might be so useful for You. We do not want to be set, settled or occupied. We want to absolutely for You!

It's telling us that we have to let God have His own way with our lives or we won't be in His favor. Besides the fact it's a beautifully melodic song.

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.
