Where there is hatred, let me bring your love, Where there is injury, your pardon Lord, And where there's doubt, true faith in You. Make me a channel of Your peace, Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope, Where there is darkness, only light, And where there's sadness, ever joy. Oh Master grant that I may never seek, So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of Your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving of ourselves that we receive, And in dying that we're born to eternal life. |
to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen |
