at any cost

"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all, utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever."

- Betty Scott Stam, quoted by Elisabeth Elliot in various places

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay
Mould me and make me after Thy will
While I am waiting, yielded and still

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

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me I pray
Power, all power surely is Thine
Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me
