Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary
and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You
It is You, Lord
Who came to save
The heart and soul
Of every man
It is You, Lord
Who knows my weakness
Who gives me strength,
With Thine own hand
Lead Me on, Lord
From temptation
Purify me
From within
Fill my heart with
Your Holy Spirit
Take away all my sin
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You

Coleen, this chorus has been a prayer of mine many times. Oh, to be a pure and holy place where God can dwell! This is the first time I have heard the other two verses, but I’m adding them to that prayer too. <3
yes…a prayer He will answer!!! ( i just love what the verses add to this beautiful worship chorus!) <3
Thank you, Coleen, for sharing this version of this beautiful song. I’ve only heard the radio version, which is also very moving. Just what my heart needs today!!!
i’m so glad, LL!!! a fitting lead in, i thought, to the devotionals our sisters will be sharing on 1 corinthians 3:16 ’cause we ARE God’s sanctuary! <3
