Teach me Thy will, O Lord

Teach Me Thy Will, O Lord
I am playing this hymn on the piano this week, and I've been thinking about the words. It's also our wisdom booklet hymn, and goes along with the theme of the month--Determining and following the will of God.
So, here are the two of the verses...

Teach me Thy will, O Lord
Teach me Thy will, O Lord, teach me Thy way
Teach me to know Thy word, teach me to pray
Whate'er seems best to Thee, that be my earnest plea
So that Thou drawest me, closer each day.

Teach me by pain Thy power, teach me by love
Teach me to know, each hour, Thou art above
Teach me as seemeth best in Thee to find sweet rest
Leaning upon Thy breast, all doubt remove.

Benjamin quotes

"The hot air is hotting my up."

"I figured out what problems me."


I love that kid.
