Amy CarmichaelAnd shall I pray Thee change Thy will, my Father, Until it be according unto mine? But, no, Lord, no, that never shall be, rather I pray Thee blend my human will with Thine. I pray Thee hush the hurrying, eager longing, I pray Thee soothe the pangs of keen desireโ See in my quiet places, wishes throngingโ Forbid them, Lord, purge, though it be with fire.
Amy Carmichael
