a prayer.

Lord, make me a channel of Thy peace
that where there is hatred, i may bring love,
that where there is wrong, i may bring a spirit of forgiveness,
that where there is discord, i may bring harmony,
that where there is error, i may bring truth,
that where there is doubt, i may bring faith,
that where there is despair, i may bring hope,
that where there are shadows, i may bring light,
that where there is sadness, i may bring joy.
