I love music. I have it on all the time. Being able to play it on my phone, put it in my back pocket and have it follow me around the house is as close as I can get to my dream of a permanent soundtrack for my life. I especially enjoy when I find a song that is also a prayer as I sing. I find these songs engage both my head and my heart while allowing me to pray without ceasing! So as you start your week, please enjoy this song. It is prayer I have for my life and all of yours—Father, make us an instrument of your peace!
You heard the cry of our hearts And You came down Freely You gave us Your love Showing us how
Make me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me shine light and May Your love cause us to open up Cause us to open up our hearts May Your light cause us to shine so bright That we bring hope into the dark
All that we do without love It means nothing Grant us the courage to give As You’re calling
Make me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me shine light and May Your love cause us to open up Cause us to open up our hearts May Your light cause us to shine so bright That we bring hope into the dark
Hope for the hopeless, Your love is Strength in our weakness, Your love is May we love, as You love Hope for the hopeless, Your love is Strength in our weakness, Your love is May we love, as You love (As only You can love, oh God) May we love, as You love May we love, as You love
