Change Me


Dear Lord change not thy will in my life,

Or trial 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 Thou hast given me to eat,

Taste bitter and sour, I plea;

Let not 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 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.

Thank you. This poem has brought a whole new meaning to my life these last couple of weeks.

Many times it's not the church or people that need to change, it's the individual.

God is good and he never changes. That's the good news.

Bro. Chosenbyone,

What a beautiful, thought-provoking poem! It reminds me of the

prayer of our Savior when He went a little further, and fell on his

face, and prayed, saying O my Father, if it be possible, let this

cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will , but as thou wilt.

Total submission to the Father (Spirit). We all would do good to do

the same! Thank God for HIS example for us!!

Blessings, Brother.
