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

    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!!!
