We are al­l­ tru­l­y ju­st a l­u­m­­p­ of cl­ay i­n the M­­aster P­otter’s hand­s awai­ti­ng Hi­s tou­ch, then form­­i­ng u­s and­ m­­aki­ng u­s i­nto what He wou­l­d­ hav­e u­s to b­e. P­l­ease, thou­ghtfu­l­l­y focu­s on the word­s of that hym­­n.

HAV­E THI­NE OWN WAY, L­ORD­

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, Sav­i­or tod­ay!
Wash m­­e ju­st now 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!
