|
| 1. | Lord, teach us how to pray, |
| | Not as the nations do in vain, |
| | But turn us from our way, |
| | And cause us, Lord, to call on You each |
| | day- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 2. | Lord, You're the seed of life; |
| | You've sown Yourself into our heart, |
| | And now You have a start; |
| | So day by day more life to us impart- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 3. | Lord Jesus, soften us; |
| | You know the source from which we came. |
| | By calling on Your name, |
| | Lord, let no earth unturned nor rocks |
| | remain- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 4. | Lord, how Your light makes clear |
| | That we could not but e'er fail You; |
| | Yet there's a message true, |
| | The seed of life within us will break |
| | through- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 5. | Make us in spirit poor; |
| | Lord, take whate'er we think we know. |
| | We'll open to life's flow, |
| | And thus take in the life that makes us |
| | grow- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 6. | Lord, make us pure in heart; |
| | For we'll be not content until |
| | You all our being fill, |
| | O Lord, renew our mind, emotion, will- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 7. | Yes, Lord, impress our heart, |
| | That we must take You in each day; |
| | The seed will have its way; |
| | Your growing brings the kingdom here to |
| | stay- |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| 8. | Amen-The growth in life! |
| | There's nothing that Your life can't do; |
| | Our every part renew. |
| | We'll make it, we'll make it just by You. |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
| | Lord Jesus, grow in us. |
