87. The Center of His Will

1 Long my stubborn will kept saying to the Master,
“I must have my way and do as I desire;”
But when I beheld my suffering Redeemer,
I surrendered and He sent the cleansing fire.

Chorus:
In the center of His will my soul is resting,
Resting, from the strife that raged within my soul;
Like a bird that found its nest,
So my soul has found its rest
In the center of the will of God.

2 In a perfect consecration I have yielded
All my life and all my being to His will;
Well I know tho’ He may lead me thro’ the valley,
He will also lead me o’er the sunlit hill. [Chorus]

3 Fully yielded all my plans and my ambitions,
Full yielded all my days and all my hours;
On the altar both for sacrifice or service
I have gladly placed my being’s ransomed pow’rs. [Chorus]

4 Nothing sweeter can be known than full surrender
To the perfect will of God eternally;
O how shall my lips sufficient praises render
Unto Him who opened heav’n on earth to me! [Chorus]
