DYING TO SELF
By Freida Hait
Dying to self
What striving within
My heart's desire;
This victory I'd win:
Vict'ry o'er self as
Christ takes control,
Struggling nor more for rights of my own.
Dying to self
My will must give way
O'er all my plans
The Lord must have sway.
My inmost thoughts
His Spirit must guide:
Deep in my heart
Self must be denied.
Dying to self
Dear Lord,
Teach me how
Weary and weak
I come to you now.
Lord, I submit,
Surrender to you
All of my self,
And all that I do.
