Lord, teach us how to pray, 求主教我禱告,

1

Lord, teach us how to pray,
求主教我禱告,
Not as the nations do in vain,
不像世人徒說空話;
But turn us from our way,
改變我的作法,
And cause us, Lord, to call on You each day—
使我天天親近你這活話-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

2

Lord, You’re the seed of life;
你這生命種子,
You’ve sown Yourself into our heart,
已經在我心中種下,
And now You have a start;
從此開始發芽;
So day by day more life to us impart—
神聖生命天天不斷增加-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

3

Lord Jesus, soften us;
求主鬆軟我心,
You know the source from which we came.
心中剛硬須被軟化,
By calling on Your name,
不讓石頭留下;
Lord, let no earth unturned nor rocks remain—
藉著呼求你名天天變化-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

4

Lord, how Your light makes clear
求主光照啟示,
That we could not but e’er fail You;
我的本質實在太差;
Yet there’s a message true,
只有主能救拔,
The seed of life within us will break through—
內裏生命種子使我像祂-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

5

Make us in spirit poor;
求主將我倒空,
Lord, take whate’er we think we know.
除去我的自高自大。
We’ll open to life’s flow,
使我願出代價,
And thus take in the life that makes us grow—
天天吸取生命不稍停下-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

6

Lord, make us pure in heart;
求主使我清心,
For we’ll not be content until
惟願被主充滿、變化,
You all our being fill,
全人更新不雜,
O Lord, renew our mind, emotion, will—
心思、情感、意志,全都像祂-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

7

Yes, Lord, impress our heart
求主感動我心,
That we must take You in each day;
天天吸取你的美佳,
The seed will have its way;
種子長成禾稼;
Your growing brings the kingdom here to stay—
藉此帶下國度,受你管轄-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.
主,在我裏長大。

8

Amen!—The growth in life!
阿們!⸺生命長大!
There’s nothing that Your life can’t do;
生命大能無所不達,
Our every part renew.
我若尊主為大;
We’ll make it, we’ll make it just by You.
每一部分必被更新無差-
Lord Jesus, grow in us.1
主,在我裏長大。2
