Lyrics
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
