Have Thine Own Way sung by Mike Curb Congregation from the album, 50 Classic Hymns. "Have Thine Own Way, Lord" is a Christian hymn with lyrics by Adelaide A. Pollard and music by George C. Stebbins was first published in 1907, in the "Northfield Hymnal with Alexander's Supplement". In 1902, Adelaide A. Pollard, a Bible teacher and hymn writer, was hoping to go to Africa as a missionary but found herself unable to raise the needed funds to make the journey. Greatly discouraged, she attended a prayer service one evening and as she sat there, she overheard an elderly woman say "It really doesn't matter what you do with us, Lord, just have your own way with our lives." The elderly woman inspired Pollard and she contemplated the story of the potter from Jeremiah 18:3 and, upon her return home that evening, wrote all four stanzas before retiring for the night. Five years later George Stebbins wrote a tune titled "Adelaide" to accompany the text. (Info from Wikipedia)

I agree totally with 88yp88yp this is absolutely beautiful. I love The Mike Curb Congregations singing of hymns. They also recorded one of Dolly Parton's songs, Daddy was an old time Preacher Man. I haven't heard it in at least 20 years. Would anyone happen to have it ? If so, would you please post it ? It would be much appreciated
