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, Master, today! Whiter than snow, 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. HAVE THINE OWN WAY, LORD "We are the clay, You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8 Words: Adelaide A. Pollard, 1907. Pollard believed God wanted her in Africa as a missionary, but she was unable to raise funds to go. In an uncertain state of mind, she attended a prayer meeting, where she heard an elderly woman pray, "It’s all right, Lord. It doesn’t matter what You bring into our lives, just have Your own way with us." At home that night, much encouraged, she wrote this hymn. Music: Adelaide, George C. Stebbins, Northfield Hymnal with Alexander’s Supplement, 1907 (MIDI, NWC, PDF). If you have access to a photo of Pollard that we could put online, please click here.
