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
