Prayer of St. Francis

C         Cmaj7           C         Cmaj7
Make me a channel of your peace,
      C               Cmaj7             Dm       G7
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
      Dm           G7             Dm     G7
Where there is injury your pardon Lord
     Dm                       G7      C   C7
And where there's doubt true faith in you.

  F                             C
O spirit grant that I may never seek
   G                            C   C7
So much to be consoled as to console
      F                      C
to be understood as to understand
        D7                         G7
to be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all that we recieve
And in dying that we're born to eternal life
