Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace Lyrics

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace

Where there's hatred, let love increase

Where hearts are cold, let them be warm

Where broken souls are full of harm

Let me forgive where wounds run deep

Where anger grows, let mercy speak

Let me unite where there's divide

Bring truth and light where lies reside

Oh Lord, I am Your hands, I am Your heart

Let me be a vessel of Your love, Your art

Where there's doubt, let me bring faith

Where there's despair, hope's gentle grace

Where darkness reigns, let me bring light

Where sorrow dwells, let joy ignite

Oh Lord, let me be Your peace

In every soul, let love release

Let me seek not to be consoled, but to console

To mend the hearts, to make them whole

Not to be understood, but to understand

And spread Your love across this land

Let me not ask for love returned

But give with no reward in turn

For it's in giving that we receive

In losing ourselves that we truly believe

Oh Lord, I am Your hands, I am Your heart

Let me be a vessel of Your love, Your art

Where there's doubt, let me bring faith

Where there's despair, hope's gentle grace

Where darkness reigns, let me bring light

Where sorrow dwells, let joy ignite

Oh Lord, let me be Your peace

In every soul, let love release

For those who give, will always gain

Those who forgive, will break their chains

In dying to ourselves, we rise

Awakened to eternal skies

Oh Lord, Your grace in every breath

Your peace surpasses even death

Let me live Your holy plan

To love my neighbour, to love all man

Oh Lord, I am Your hands, I am Your heart

Let me be a vessel of Your love, Your art

Where there's doubt, let me bring faith

Where there's despair, hope's gentle grace

Where darkness reigns, let me bring light

Where sorrow dwells, let joy ignite

Oh Lord, let me be Your peace

In every soul, let love release

Lord, in surrender, I am found

Your love lifts me from the ground

To forgive, to give, to love, to heal

To follow Your truth with heart and zeal

Awake my soul to eternal life

Let me walk in peace, free of strife

Make me an instrument of Your grace

In Your presence, in Your embrace
