Sometimes, We Just Can't Do It By Ourselves
Make Me an Instrument of Your PeaceLord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.
- St. Francis of Assisi
Sinead O'Connor has a beautiful vocal rendition of this song, but I don't know how to put an MP3 on this blog.
