Make Me A Captive, Lord,
And Then I Shall Be Free;
Force Me To Render Up My Sword,
And I Shall Conqueror Be.
I Sink In Life’s Alarms
When By Myself I Stand;
Imprison Me Within Thine Arms,
And Strong Shall Be My Hand.
My Heart Is Weak And Poor
Until Its Master Find;
It Has No Spring Of Action Sure,
It Varies With The Wind.
It Cannot Freely Move,
Till Thou Hast Wrought It’s Chain;
Enslave It With Thy Matchless Love,
And Deathless It Shall Reign.
My Power Is Faint And Low
Till I Have Learned To Serve;
It Wants The Needed Fire To Glow,
It Wants The Breeze To Nerve;
It Cannot Drive The World,
Until Itself Be Driven;
It’s Flag Can Only Be Unfurled
When Thou Shalt Breathe From Heaven.
My Will Is Not My Own
Till Thou Hast Made It Thine;
If It Would Reach A Monarch’s Throne
It Must Its Crown Resign;
It Only Stands Unbent,
Amid The Clashing Strife,
When On Thy Bosom It Has Leant
And Found In Thee It’s Life.
