Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, let me show pardon,
Where there is doubting,
Let me bring Your faith.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is despair, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, let me shine Your light,
Where there is sadness,
Let me bring Your joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may seek
not so much to be consoled, as to be the one to console,
not so much understood as to understand,
not to be loved, but to love another
make me an instrument of your peace.
For it is in the giving that we do receive
It is in pardoning that we all are pardoned,
And it is in dying, that we are born again.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Señor, hazme un instrumento de tu paz!
Adonai, asa li kli shalomecha!

They say there’ll be no peace, no resolution
no avoiding destruction
no chance for release
The chains that bind our hearts were forged
by other hands, from ancient lands
But now it’s time to speak
ubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu
For all too many years,
the rivers have flowed with blood
plowshares are still outnumbered
by all these swords
The widow and the stranger still want for food
the orphan is twice removed from love restored
ubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu
and if there is a way to end this hate
it will only be discovered by hearts that ache
for the peace that only people who love can make
ubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu
I am because you are,
no matter what others say
this is more than an old cliché
we use when stronger words fail
I am because you are,
let the separatist be forewarned
we share in common a sacred form
leaving all else to pale
ubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu

Some twenty years ago, in a car late, late at night
A Catholic priest and I waited at a traffic light
The Cathedral was on the left A McDonalds on the right
He asked, “What’s wrong with this picture?”
The Cathedral was locked up tight.
Let’s open the doors…
Let’s open the portals…
Let’s open our hearts even more!
Let’s open the doors…
Let’s unlock each handle…
Let’s welcome inside the poor.
There’s a church in San Francisco
where the pastor’s very brave.
He lets the homeless in each day
and they sleep within the nave
The mass goes on around them…
The homeless dream away
They call it “Sacred Sleep”…
It’s Communion either way.
Let’s open the doors…
Fifth Avenue’s the place to live
for the very well-to-do.
But thanks to Presbyterians
the homeless sleep there too.
The City tried to make them send
the homeless folk away
The City lost the judgment…
the Gospel wins the day!
Let’s open the doors…
If Jesus wanted all of us
to hide behind closed doors
To worship him protected
from the presence of the poor
Why did he choose to hang around
with those the world abhorred?
O, Jesus help our unbelief!...
Our trust in you restore!

Because of my brothers and friends
Because of my sisters and friends
Please let me ask, please let me say -
Peace to you.
Lemaan achai vereai, lemaan achai vereai
Adabra na, adabra na, shalom bach
This is the house,
the house of the Lord
I wish the best for you.

I read a short story many years ago…
when I was still young and life was Still slow…
Part of a collection of ancient tales once told
to those who Were young by those who were old…
And so it goes…once upon a time
back when people asked questions of the mystical kind…
there was this young monk, just a novice they say,
Went to see his old master for some counsel one day…
And he fell on his knees as tears filled his eyes…
he clutched at this habit He could not disguise
…that his hunger for holiness was unsatisfied…
What more than praying and fasting
could his master advise?
Well, the old monk listened
to the young monk he loved and he
Stretched out his hands up to heaven above…
the young monk beheld And watched what transpired, as the elder’s ten fingers became ten Lamps of fire.
Now stories come and stories go
I remember some and others, no.
Some are short and some are long,
then there are curious ones that
Sometimes become a song.
And so it was, once upon a time…
when the sacred and holy still Enraptured mankind…
there was this young monk with a holy desire
Who decided one day to be changed into fire!
I read a short story many years ago…
when I was still young and life Was still slow.

Give thanks unto God, for God is good

Thanks be to God, who answers my prayer
Thanks be to God, my salvation

Blessed is the one who comes in Your name
Blessings and praise from house of the Lord
