Instrument of peace
Embracing Harmony: A Journey of Love, Faith, and Hope
Lyrics
Where there is hatred, let me bring love
Expressing a desire to replace hatred with love.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith
Aspiring to bring faith where there is doubt.
Where there is falsehood, let me bring truth
Seeking to replace falsehood with truth.
Where there is pain, I'll comfort you
Committing to offer comfort in times of pain.
Where there is silence, let me sing praise
Wishing to break silence through singing praise.
Where there's despair, let me bring hope
Aspiring to bring hope in the face of despair.
Where there is blindness, let me bring sight
Expressing a desire to bring sight to the blind.
Where there is darkness, let me bring light
Aspiring to bring light to darkness.
And with these words I speak
Transitioning to a declaration of the speaker's words.
Grant that I may not so seek
Requesting that the speaker not seek personal recognition.
To be heard but to hear
Expressing a preference for listening over being heard.
To be consoled but to console
Preferring to console others rather than seeking consolation.
Not to be seen, but to see
Desiring to see rather than being seen.
To be loved but to love
Emphasizing the importance of giving love over receiving.
For when we give love we will receive
Highlighting the reciprocal nature of love.
When we forgive love, we'll find reprieve
Stressing the importance of forgiveness in experiencing relief.
It is in dying we'll be released
Reflecting on the liberation that comes with selflessness and sacrifice.
Make me an instrument of peace
Concluding with a plea to be an instrument of peace.
