| Father, hear me now when I am humbled
|
| I fear that I will soon forget
|
| Now I have no strength to stand and stumble
|
| I have no wish to leave you—yet
|
| O Holy Father, hear me now
|
| When flesh is strong and spirit weak
|
| Please break my back if I won’t bow
|
| Won’t you have your way with me
|
| Father, hear me now when I am humbled
|
| When I am bent with holy shame
|
| All the lies that I believed have crumbled
|
| The blood of Christ my only claim
|
| I cannot trust my own designs
|
| My heart is prone to disobey
|
| So listen, Lord, while there is time
|
| Chain me fast if I won’t stay
|
| Take my life and have your way
|
| Please hear me, Lord, this blessed hour
|
| When sin has loosed its hold on me
|
| Thy mercy is a mighty tower
|
| So why should I not trust in thee?
|
| Father, have your way with me |
