Mahalia Jackson
Not My Will
[Verse]
If I ask for a thing that I should not ask for
If I pray for a thing selfishly
If I ask for my self and not for my neighbor
Lift this vale from my eyes, let me see
[Chorus]
"Not my will, but Thou be done, " prayed Jesus
May this same prayer be mine every day
When this robe of flesh that I wear makes me falter
Guide my steps, hold my hand all the way
[Chorus]
"Not my will, but Thou be done, " prayed Jesus
May this same prayer be mine every day
When this robe of flesh that I wear, Lord, makes me falter
Guide my steps, hold my hand all the way
