Instrument Of Your Peace Lyrics

make me an instrument of your peace

Where hatred dwells let love never cease

Where there's hurt let forgiveness find release

Where discord reigns let unity increase

Where falsehoods spread let truth never cease

Where doubts may roam let faith be our fleece

Where despair resides let hope bring peace

Where shadows creep let light's glow never cease

Where sadness lurks let joy's song never decrease

Oh Lord let me seek not to be consoled

But to console where hearts are cold

To understand more than to be understood

To love more than to seek love's good

For in giving we truly receive

In forgetting ourselves we truly achieve

In forgiving we find grace to believe

In dying we rise to eternity's weave

Lord make me an instrument of your peace
