Text:Have Thine Own Way
Author:Adelaide A. Pollard
Tune:ADELAIDE
Composer:George C. Stebbins

286. Have Thine Own Way

1. 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.

2. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Brighter 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!
