Lyrics
Verse One Have Thine own way, Lord— Have Thine own way. You are the Potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me, After Thy will; While I am waiting, Yielded and still. In the quiet place, When my heart is trembling, You speak the words That steady my soul. With gentle hands You begin Your shaping— Breaking what’s broken, Making me whole. Chorus (Solo with choir support) Shape me, Lord… Shape me, Lord… Till all I am Reflects who You are. Break me, Lord… Make me, Lord… Have Thine own way, Right where we are. Verse Two Have Thine own way, Lord— Have Thine own way. Search me and know me, Remove every way That keeps me distant, That pulls me astray. Wash me completely, Teach me to stay. For in Your presence I’m changed forever— Set apart for Your holy plan. With open spirit I surrender— Do in me, Lord, What only You can. Chorus (Choir rising beneath the solo) Shape me, Lord… Shape me, Lord… Till all I am Reflects who You are. Break me, Lord… Make me, Lord… Have Thine own way, Right where we are. Bridge (Call & Response, emotional) Solo: Take my heart and purify— Choir: Have Thine own way. Solo: Take my will and sanctify— Choir: Have Thine own way. Solo: Take my plans, my every dream— Choir: Have Thine own way. Solo: Take my life and reign supreme— Choir: Have Thine own way. Vamp (Choir swelling; solo ad-libs pouring out) Have Thine own way… Have Thine own way… Move in this place… Have Thine own way. Shape me… Break me… Make me… Take me… Have Thine own way… Have Thine own way… Final Tag Have Thine own way, Lord— Have Thine own way.
