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.
