Lord, Make us Instruments of Your Peace

For our Sunday musical reflection this week, I am sharing "Lord, Make us Instruments of Your Peace."  This is based on the Prayer of Saint Francis (1181-1226).  As many of us in the world today are sheltering in place, our staying home is an Act of Peace.  We are saving lives by staying home.   You may not know this hymn by heart, but it is a song that can bring hope to all this Sunday.Drakensberg Boys Choir singing Lord, Make us Instruments of PeaceInstruments of Peace by A capella ChoirThe Sarah McLachlan School of Music singing the Prayer of St. Francis

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peaceWhere there is hatred, let me sow loveWhere there is injury, pardonWhere there is doubt, faithWhere there is despair, hopeWhere there is darkness, lightAnd where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Master, grant that I mayNot so much seek to be consoled as to consoleTo be understood, as to understandTo be loved, as to loveFor it is in giving that we receiveAnd it's in pardoning that we are pardonedAnd it's in dying that we are born to Eternal LifeAmen
