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 Lord with Your Holy Spirit
Take away all my sin
