Make Me An Instrument

Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

I turn to you, Lord
Meager in the certainties of my conviction
For you are the bread of my life
And the strength of my song
You are the source of my every inspiration
You light my way
You lead me on
I stand before you now
Resolved to serve your every word
And pray that you strengthen me
Oh Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace
Make me an instrument
Make me an instrument of thy peace

Mind my steps
Take my hand
Be my rock
Hear my prayer

Your peace I find in giving
In charity
In stillness
In the quietude of my mind
In the splendor of your word

And so I turn to you, Lord
Knowing of the certainties of my conviction
For you are the bread of my life
And the strength of my song
Standing on this threshold in my sweet anticipation
You give me hope
Lord guide me home
I stand before you now
Ordained to spread your mighty word
As you are my peace of mind
Now Lord make me an instrument of thy peace
Make me an instrument
Make me an instrument of thy peace

Raise me up
Hold me close
Guide my every thought
Prepare my way

Make me an instrument
Make me an instrument of thy peace

Peace
Make me an instrument
Make me an instrument
Make me an instrument of thy peace
