Oh, conquer me dear Lord,
And never let me win.
May Thou defeat me all the time
Till I’m subdued within.
And never let me win.
May Thou defeat me all the time
Till I’m subdued within.
Conquer me dear Lord,
Never let me win;
Oh, defeat me all the time
Till I’m subdued within.
Never let me win;
Oh, defeat me all the time
Till I’m subdued within.

I, once Thine enemy,
Was captured, Lord, by Thee;
Yet Thee I hold, rebelliously,
As captive unto me.
Was captured, Lord, by Thee;
Yet Thee I hold, rebelliously,
As captive unto me.
3
Defeated, Lord, by Thee,
Thy prisoner I’d be.
Yet when Thou would’st make home in me,
I oft imprison Thee.
Thy prisoner I’d be.
Yet when Thou would’st make home in me,
I oft imprison Thee.

Though conquered Lord, by Thee,
My old man liveth still.
O, come and be my person, Lord,
In mind, emotion, will.
My old man liveth still.
O, come and be my person, Lord,
In mind, emotion, will.
5
Make me a captive, Lord
And then I shall be free;
Break through, have Thine own way in me
For Thine economy.
And then I shall be free;
Break through, have Thine own way in me
For Thine economy.

"Conquer me dear Lord,

This is a great prayer, no wonder our brother Ed Marks reminds us again and again to pray this prayer.
It happen to Jacob, it is happening to us, in our dealings The Lord will do what it takes to touch our natural life...then after quite a long time, just as in Jacob, we will be subdued, no trace of the natural life, no trace of the "old man" but a transformed Israel, who wrestled with God.
Lord thank You for wrestling with us, You lowered down to wrestle with us, because of Your great love for man, and You don't let us go until our thigh is touched; all because of Your Economy. Amen, Lord.
