“Father,
Not My Will, Thine”
Don
Fortner
(Tune:
Am I A Soldier of The Cross? #441 CM)
Father, my paths, winding and straight,
Your watchful eye surveys.
There’s none so wise to choose my lot
And regulate my ways.
I cannot doubt Your tender love -
Eternal, changeless, kind!
To Your unerring, gracious will
My life I now resign.
My God is good in all He gives,
And good when He denies.
Even the sorrows caused by Him
Are blessings in disguise!
Gladly I bow before Your throne
With all that I call mine
And say with Christ, Your darling Son,
“Father, not my will, Thine!”
