Sanctify Me

Father, how do You tolerate us?

We seem unable to learn,

Making the same mistakes

time and again.

Yet You so loved us

That You gave us

Your only Son.

Father, why do we do it?

Repeatedly abusing

Your Spirit’s temple,

We indulge and suffer.

Yet, if we believe in You,

We will not die

But live eternally.

Father, will You help us?

Will you shape and mold us

Into the likeness

Of Your Beloved Son

And complete in us

The work You have begun?
