Change Me

Posted on 01/31/1207/30/18 by Steve

Dear Lord

Change not Thy will in my life

Or trial and sorrows to be

Renew my faith and make me strong

Change not Thy will, change me!

~

Though teardrops fall when trouble comes

Like storms on a rolling sea

Let Thy beacon guide my ship to port

Change not the storm, change me!

~

When Thy Holy Word I don’t understand

And Thy Glory I cannot see

Teach my eyes, give me sight and wisdom

Change not Thy Word, change me!

~

If the fruit Thou hast given me to eat

Taste bitter and sour, I plea

Let not my will but Thine be done

Change not the fruit, change me!

~

If sometime I murmur and grumble, Dear Lord

About the cross I carry for Thee

Keep it firm on my shoulders, but hold my hand

Change not the cross, change me!

~

If You change Thy ways to please me, Dear Lord

I would soon grow cold and turn from Thee

That You may hear my prayers, Dear Lord

Change not Thy ways, change me!

~

There’s a valley that I must cross

Someday Thy face to see

Lest I forget what power is Thine

Change not the valley, change me!
