Instrument Of Your Peace Lyrics

Lord, make me an instrument of peace,

Where hate turns cold, let love increase.

Mmmmm... love increase.

Where hearts are hurt, let kindness release,

Where lies may spread, let truth bring ease.

When doubts arise, bring steady grace,

In despair's shadow, hope takes place.

Mmmmm... hope takes place.

Where sadness lingers, let joy embrace,

And light will shine in the darkest space.

Oh Lord, may I not seek my own,

But mend the hearts that feel alone.

Mmmmm... not my own.

To give, not take; to heal, not moan,

To love as deeply as you've shown.

For giving fills what's empty inside,

In letting go, true joys abide.

Mmmmm... joys abide.

Through forgiveness, wounds subside,

And death leads to eternal skies.

Lord, make me an instrument of peace.

Mmmmm... peace.
