Lord, teach us how to pray

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
