Lyrics

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where I find doubt and despair, where I find sadness and hate, let me shine with your faith and hope, let me shine with your joy and love. Let me seek to love with compassion. Let me seek to give and forgive, as you gave for me in your death, God's gift of love so that I might live.
