Change
Me
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.
