Have Thine own way Lord. (Matthew 26 v36-39)

We have considered  that God would grant the serenity to accept the things we cannot change and courage to change the things we can change,and then it is summed up in the following words'And the wisdom to know the difference.' My first wife I went and to Bible college,we believed that we were called to be missionaries,but it never happened we prayed for God to open a way, to know avail,but for other students it did happen.But I did become a minister and I got comfirmation of  that,in the morning we set of to come to England God give me scripture which read,'Behold ,I send an Angel before you to keep in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared' (Ex 23 v20) There was a lady called Adelaide Pollard she lived in 19th century ,she wanted to be a missionary in Africia but it didn't happen.which upset her,but one night a lady in a praye meeting prayed ,'It doesn't matter what you bring into our lives Lord,just have your way with us'.From that experience she went on to write a lovely song,here are some of the words from it.     

                                          (1)  'Have Thine own way ,Lord,have Thine own way;
                                                Thou are the potter,I am the clay;
                                                Mold me and make me after Thy will,    
                                                While I am waiting, yielded and still.
                                          (2)  Have Thine own way, Lord,have Thine own way;
                                                 Search me and try me,Master, today;
                                                 Whiter than snow ,Lord,wash me just now,
                                                  As in Thy presence humbly I bow;
                                           (3)  Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way;
                                                  Hold o'er my being absolute sway;
                                                  Fill with Thy Spirit till all can see
                                                  Christ only, always ,living in me'
