5. Take Root Downward, and Bear Fruit Upward – 往下扎根,向上結果
一九七七。七月

往下扎根, 向上結果;
往下扎根, 向上結果。
你我人世浮沅
罪惡纏繞我身
那穌基督降世,
帶來無限救恩,
虔誠懺悔罪過
換個新生的我,
重生得救的人
與主水無隔膜。
主时試命,字字是真,
一一遵行,美徳無痕;

主的話語可可不錯,
字字閱讀,靈性必增。
救恩信心先滿我,
必享平安和喜樂。
靈性的根基若扎穩,
一定開花又結果。
往下扎根,向上結果;
往下扎根,向上結果。
阿們

5. Take Root Downward, and Bear Fruit Upward – 往下扎根,向上結果
1977, July

Take root downward and bear fruit upwards;
Take root downward and bear fruit upwards.
You and I are lost in the world
Sin surrounds me,
But Jesus Christ came
To bring salvation,
Confess your sins
Be made anew,
Be born again
Come freely to the Lord.
Taste his new life now, All his words are true
Obey each and every one, His grace demands no more;

The words of the Lord are true,
By them you will grow in grace.
Salvation by faith,
brings peace and joy.
If the foundation is firmly established,
Bloom and bear fruit it must.
Take root downwards and bear fruit upwards;
Take root downwards and bear fruit upwards.
Amen
Translation by Stuart Moffatt
