My Life - Your Way

Take me, Lord, please take me;

Completely Yours would I be.

Surrendered to my Lord and King;

Forevermore Your praises sing.

I long to live in absolute surrender.

Break me, Lord, please break me;

Weak and contrite would I be.

Dead to sin and dead to self;

Alive to You and heavenly wealth.

I long to live in brokenness before You.

Mold me, Lord, please mold me;

Tender and obedient would I be.

Soft under Your Potter-hands;

Doing as Your Word commands.

I long to live by all Your holy will.

Make me, Lord, please make me;

Like Jesus Christ would I be.

May my words be pleasing to You;

The meditation of my heart, too.

I long to live to glorify my Master.

A Young Woman's Prayer

Don't give me a career,

With all its stipulations;

Don't give me a Day Care,

And try to take my children.

Don't give me frozen dinners

In all the hustle and bustle;

Don't give me a gossiphone

For wagging tongues to rustle.

Don't give me a degree

That's longer than my arm;

Don't give me a pulpit,

God's order to harm.

Lord, give me a spirit

Submissive and meek;

And give me a heart

That will your face seek.

Give me a husband

To love and obey;

And give me some children

To guide in the Way.

Yes, give me a home

To care for and keep;

And give me a family

That will again one day meet.
