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.
