Dear Lord change not Thy will in my life,
Or trial and sorrows to be;
Renew my faith and make me strong,
Change not Thy will, change me.
Though teardrops fall when trouble comes,
Like storms on a rolling sea;
Let Thy beacon guide my ship to port,
Change not the storm, change me.




When Thy Holy Word I don't understand
And Thy glory I cannot see;
Teach my eyes, give me sight and wisdom,
Change not Thy Word, change me.
If the fruit Thou hast given me to eat,
Taste bitter and sour, I plea;
Let not my will but Thine be done,
Change not the fruit, change me.




The water's flowing too and fro
Waves of life we've come to know
Sand and sea that meet with grace
Each Gift of Life we can't replace




If sometime I murmur
and grumble, dear Lord,
About the cross I carry for Thee;
Keep it firm on my shoulders,
but hold my hand,
Change not the cross, change me.
If You change Thy ways
to please me, dear Lord,
I would soon grow cold
and turn from Thee;
That You may hear my
prayers, dear Lord,
Change not Thy ways, change me.




There's a valley that I must cross,
Someday Thy face to see;
Lest I forget what power is Thine,
Change not the valley, change me.
