“LORD PREPARE ME TO BE A SANCTUARY”

This contemporary song has been sung in countless christian churches both in North America and even here in the Philippines. The song’s lyrics are very touching. The writer must have been anointed by the Spirit of God when he wrote the song. The lyrics follows:

“Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary.
Pure and holy, tried and true.
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for you.”

Read Psalm 24:1-10. Take special note of verses 3 to 5. Let this song be the cry, desire, longing and prayer of our hearts moment by moment day by day (Psalm 42:1-2). As we seek to live and walk with God daily as Enoch did (first book of the Bible Genesis 5:24), may God Almighty empower us with His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).

Praying for you the reader: the prayers of the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, in Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21; & Colossians 1:9-14. In Christ Love!
