Change Me
Author Unknown
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.
