~~ DEAR LORD, CHANGE ME~~
DEAR LORD CHANGE NOT THY WILL IN MY LIFE, OR TRIALS 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 YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TO EAT, TASTE BITTER AND SOUR, I PLEA: LET NOT WHAT 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.
