Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace ~ by Sinead O'Connor

This is such a beautiful prayer. It is called 'The Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. I chose Sinead O'Connor because frankly her angelic voice translates this prayer beautifully. It is quite calming to hear and also to read out loud to yourself. The following are the Sinead O'Connor's lyrics for you to sing along. Enjoy!

Make Me a Channel of Your Peace ~ by Sinead O'Connor

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is dispair 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
It is in giving to all man that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life

I have copied the actual prayer from a website I was led to this evening titled, Living from the Heart.

Saint Francis of Assisi
baptised as Giovanni di Bernadone
b. 1182 -- d. 1226 A. D.

The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, harmony.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
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 are born to Eternal Life."
