一 求主倒空我脫自己,我心滿詭詐;
這個重大聖潔成績,只祢有辦法。
(副)求主倒空我脫自己,裏面無良善;
我的一生全是受欺,驕傲因黑暗;
求主倒空我脫自己,裏面真黑暗。
二 求祢聽我向祢呼祈,罪過何難除!
自己越看越不滿意,何況祢聖目?
三 我的不安是為甚麼,求祢來揭露;
良心時常控告不默,我注重何垢?
四 祢我之間有重幔子,交通常間斷;
到底是在那裏有失,信心不坦然?
1. Come empty me of self, O Lord,
My cunning heart renew.
So wondrous holy is this work,
No one but Thou can do.
Refrain
Come empty me of self, O Lord,
No good there is inside.
Deceived by pride, thro'-out my life,
In darkness do I hide.
Come empty me of self, so I
Can at last be revived.
2. Hear Thou my cry to Thee, O Lord,
Cleanse Thou these sins of mine!
I cannot bear to see myself,
More so those eyes of Thine.
3. Why do I live in restlessness?
Show me what to discard!
My conscience keeps accusing me -
What sin do I regard?
4. In fellowship with Thee, Thy face
Is oft' hidden and veiled;
Why is my faith so insecure?
Show me where I have failed!
