Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
By an act of our will we place our total personalities at the disposal of God.
This is our “reasonable service,” and it is well–pleasing to God.
Have Thine Own Way, Lord

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! — Thou art the Potter, I am the clay. — Mold 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, Savior 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.
Adelaide A. Pollard 1907
