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.
