At very first, I was carnal, I did not love God and man.
Then God's love constrained me forward, and my love became well known.
Now I'm dismantled by the Lord, hard to endure people's cruel words.
Fight in my strength, not by Spirit, how rotten is my old man.

Refrain

Enlightened by God's light, all my evil is seen.
God's hand dismantled me merciless.
Rebuild up and replant, root goes down, fruit comes up,
Showing the richness of holy life.

To be holy, is the Lord's will; unholy we can't see God.
I always examine myself, as my life keeps on growing.
But I can't keep for holy long, soon I am overtaken by sin.
Love the dirty evil thought done in the dark shown on the light.

Refrain

I will give you the crown of life. Be thou faithful unto death.
There have been so many martyrs who gave their lives to the Lord.
“For the Lord I'll sacrifice all, overcome all the difficulties.
Just like Daniel faithful and strong.” Quickly did I surrender.

Refrain

Work for myself makes the Lord sad. Fight by myself all in vain.
If you don't let Christ work freely, then all is wood, hay and straw.
Repent to Him, pray for mercy, Lord, Thou break me and purify me.
According to your will, use me, that I glorify Thy Name.

Refrain

*****************************************************************

初信主時靈性低幼，不盡心愛神愛人。
後被主愛激勵追求，滿有愛心人共見。
我今被神拆毀淨盡，難以忍受他人的剌語！
獨自作戰不靠聖靈，舊人敗壞盡顯露！

副歌

在主前被光照，赤裸裸全無了，
神的手無情地拆毀我！
重建立與栽植，下扎根上結果，
有豐盛的生命自流露！

成為聖潔是神旨意，非聖潔不能見主。
常常省察對付自己，屬靈生命有長進。
日久天長生活放鬆，可憐偶然被過犯所勝！
留戀污穢心思意念，暗處行明處宣揚！

副歌

主說：“你要至死忠心，我賜你生命冠冕”。
歷代聖徒已有多人，甘為主流血捨命。
“主啊，我願為你犧牲，任何利誘威逼能得勝；
像但以理忠貞堅剛”，話未完我已投降！

副歌

為己作工使主傷心，靠己努力真徒然！
不讓基督自由工作，這全是草木禾秸，
主前痛悔求祂憐憫：主啊，你破碎我，煉淨我；
任憑你意造就使用，為叫你名全得榮！
