1.
\nMake me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free;
\nForce me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be.
\nI sink in life’s alarms When by myself I stand;
\nImprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand.<\/p>\n
2.
\nMy heart is weak and poor Till it a master find;
\nIt has no spring of action sure It varies with the wind.
\nIt cannot freely move Till Thou has wrought its chain;
\nEnslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign.<\/p>\n
3.
\nMy will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine;
\nIf it would reach a monarch’s throne, It must its crown resign;
\nIt only stands unbent, Amid the clashing strife,
\nWhen on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
