As brother Bucksing preached, it's only God who is worthy of all adoration and glory. I am the clay, mold me and make me after thy will. While I am waiting, yield and steal.
Have thine own way, Lord, love thine own way. Cold am I being at thy feet. Filled with thy Spirit, still thou shalt see.
Thy strength will always be in me. Have thine own way, Lord, love thine own way. Search me and find me, Master, today.
Whiter than snow, Lord, watch me just now, as in thy presence.
