Text based on familiar prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
Ch:
Make me an instrument of your peace.
O God, fill me with love.
Make me an instrument of your peace.
O God, make me an instrument of your peace.
1. Wherever there is hatred, let me sow love.
Wherever there is sorrow, let me sow joy.
Wherever there’s oppression, freedom let me sow.
O God, fill me with love.
2. May I seek to console, not to be consoled.
May I seek to pardon, not to be pardoned.
I seek to understand not to be understood.
O God, fill me with love.
Ch:
Hazme un instrumento de tu paz,
O Dios, dame tu_amor.
Hazme un instrumento de tu paz,
O Dios, hazme un instrumento de tu paz.
3. May I be mindful that all creatures are one
Sisters and brothers with the earth and the sun.
I pray release me from my need to be in charge.
O God, fill me with love.
