SUBMISSION

The path that I have trod, Has brought me nearer God, Though oft it led through sorrow’s gates . Though not the way I choose, In my way I might lose The joy that yet for me awaits Refrain Not what I wish to be, Nor where I wish to go, For who am I that I should choose my way? The Lord shall choose for me, ‘Tis better far, I know, So let him bid me go, or stay The cross that I must bear, If I a crown would wear, Is not the cross that I should take; But since on me ’tis laid, I’ll take it unafraid, And bear it for the Master’s sake. Refrain Submission to the will Of him who guides me still Is surety of His love revealed; My soul shall rise above This world in which I move, I conquer only when I yield.
