Now May the God of Peace
A prayer for sanctification in the fight against sin
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
Lord, I desire Your will
My heart yearns to obey
Though daily I am faced with sin
Enticing me away
So, help me rise each day
Battle and war with sin
I long to see You face to face
And final vict’ry win
Lord, You have so designed
This fight with sin in me
That as I struggle, watch and pray
I learn humility
So, help me to obey
Holiness to pursue
Deepen repentance when I fail
Strengthen my faith in You
I rest within the hope
Your Spirit dwells in me
Completing that which was begun
So holy I may be
Now may the God of Peace
Sanctify me wholly
And keep me blameless ‘til the day
Christ comes in victory
