Make Me An Instrument
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace: where there's hatred, let me sow
love; and where there is injury, pardon; and where there is doubt, then
faith; and where there's despair, then hope. It's in dying that I will be
born, and in giving that I will receive, it's in loving that I will be
loved, this is my faith: it is what I believe. Lord, make me an
instrument. Make me an instrument. Lord, I am a stranger traveling in
a brutal yet wondrous land, far from the promise of home, on a journey,
led by Your hand to where the lion lies down with the lamb. Father, grant
that I'd never seek to be comforted as to console; let the blood of Your
Son cover me, touching my spirit, seizing my soul, Lord, make me an
instrument. Lord, make me an instrument. Lord make me YOUR
instrument. Let Your divine mystery guide my heart: it's in dying that I
will be born, and in giving that I will receive, it's in loving that I
will be loved; this is my faith: it is what I believe. Christ within me,
Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ above me, Christ beneath me,
to my left and my right, Christ where I lie and where I arise, Christ in the
hearts of all who think of me, Christ on the lips of all who speak of
me, Christ in the eyes of all who see me--- make me Your instrument,
Lord! Make me Your instrument, Lord! Make me Your instrument,
Lord! Make me Your instrument, Lord! Make me Your instrument. |
