HOW SWEET TO BOW AND WAIT
Don Fortner
(Tune:
O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES #46 CM)
How sweet to bow and wait before
The
throne of my dear Lord;
Surrender
to His providence,
And
wait to hear His word.
Sickness
and health, sorrow and joy,
He
wisely measures out:
Faithful
and true, He does me good;
His
love I cannot doubt!
My Father knows just what I need
To make
me trust Him more,
To draw
my heart to Christ in love,
And
seek His will the more.
I lay
myself before Your throne,
My God,
Your will be done!
Order
my steps and guide my heart
To
magnify Your Son.
O Holy
Spirit, as I wait,
Descend
upon my soul,
Inscribe
upon my heart Your will,
And make my spirit whole.
