Lyrics

Would you live for Je­sus,
And be al­ways pure and good?
Would you walk with Him
Within the nar­row road?
Would you have Him bear your bur­den,
Carry all your load?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Refrain

His pow­er can make you
What you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart
And make you free;
His love can fill your soul,
And you will see
’Twas best for Him
To have His way with thee.

Would you have Him make you
Free, and fol­low at His call?
Would you know the peace
That comes by giv­ing all?
Would you have Him save you,
So that you can ne­ver fall?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Refrain

Would you in His king­dom
Find a place of con­stant rest?
Would you prove Him true
In pro­vi­den­tial test?
Would you in His ser­vice la­bor
Always at your best?
Let Him have His way with thee.
