Have Thine Own Way, Lord!

This morning I found this hymn on my mind. It's always so neat how the Lord puts certain songs on our heart, ones we haven't heard in awhile, that He knows are so fitting for a circumstance in our life or something He has been working to teach us.

"Have thine own way, Lord!"
Written by: Adelaide A. Pollard,
Music by: George C. Stebbins

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.

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Savior today!
Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.

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!

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!

My prayer for today:
Lord, I know I have failed in you many times in the last few weeks. Times that I have not been yielded to Your voice but instead chose to do what I wanted; Times I chose self over surrenderance. Lord, forgive me, wash me and fill me. My prayer is that I become willing clay completely surrendered in your hands. ~ Joanna

I thought the following video was such a good example of what we so often do. We want God to help us, yet we don't want to do it His way; we think we have a better plan. Then when we are further down the road we realize His plan was the best and that we didn't see the whole picture. (turn off music player at the bottom of the blog before viewing)
