\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\u2019s alarms when by myself I stand;
\nImprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.<\/p>\n

\nMy heart is weak and poor until it amaster 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

\nMy will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine;
\nIf it would reach a monarch\u2019s 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":"
