Excerpt3 - I Am Thy Captive, Lord

I am Thy captive, Lord,
Not wishing to be free;
To know I am Thy bondslave
Is glorious liberty.
My life, my all, in Thy control,
Is glorious freedom to my soul.

I am not tossed about
By vicious doctrine wind.
My soul is safely anchored
Because I have Thy mind.
My will is Thine, Thy will is mine,
And, in this my blest soul estate,
My longings do not wander far,
I seek not to be great.

Just lead me in Thy garden, Lord,
The garden of Thy Holy Word.
It’s loaded with a thousand spices -
Delicious fruits, boundless advices.
Lead on, O King, in full control,
Thou art the Master of my soul.
