J.M.J.
ALL THAT I HAVE
TAKE FROM ME, LORD, ALL THAT IS MINE
SO THAT MY HEART WOULD BEAT AS THINE.
TAKE FROM ME, LORD, ALL I CONTROL
THAT I MAY NOT FORSAKE MY SOUL.
I ASK THAT YOU TAKE MY FREE WILL
AND WITH YOUR LOVE THIS VOID TO FILL.
AND THEN AS I EACH BREATH SHALL TAKE,
HELP ME TO DO ALL FOR YOUR SAKE.
GIVE ME THE GRACE THAT ALL I DO
BE NOT FOR MY SAKE BUT FOR YOU.
HELP ME TO DO THE BEST I CAN
THAT I BECOME WORTHY OF YOUR PLAN.
IF I SHOULD FAIL ALL TO RELEASE,
I ASK, DEAR LORD, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE
HELP ME WITH YOU THESE THORNS TO SHARE
ACCEPTING ALL THAT I MUST BEAR.
IF ANY THORNS SHOULD STILL REMAIN,
USE THEM, DEAR LORD, TO CLEANSE ALL STAIN
THAT WHEN YOU CALL MY SOUL MAY BE
UNBLEMISHED AS I WORSHIP THEE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
