Lyrics
the prayer of st. francis is a well-known prayer, and even finds its way into the aa 12&12 on the step 11 discussion. i will pay francis his royalties when/if i see him in heaven...
there's an instrument of peace here at your fingertips
with notes that i can play and words to cross my lips
let me do just what i can when i wonder if i could
let me see in every moment that i only know i should
an instrument of peace here at your fingertips
let me see when things are wrong a way to make them right
let me step into the darkness with a single candle light
let the harm that's done to me only prompt me to forgive
let me drown the noise of hatred with the quiet way i live
see when things are wrong a way to make them right
let me like a leaf be turned for heaven's blessing
let me strain to find the place to catch the sun
let me be the sinner bold in his confessing
and know inside forgiveness has been won
let me see the morning light peek through an endless night
and hold the victor's pose upon my knees
let me join the bird in chorus with his singing
let me be the silent prayer upon the breeze
let the doubts of other seekers stir faith to understand
their questions and my own that run as endless as the sand
when joy must fill the rafters let laughter have no end
when i sense another's sadness let me be there as a friend
let doubts of other seekers stir my faith to understand
let me like a leaf be turned for heaven's blessing
let me strain to find the place to catch the sun
let me be the sinner bold in his confessing
and know inside forgiveness has been won
let me see the morning light peek through an endless night
and hold the victor's pose upon my knees
let me join the bird in chorus with his singing
let me be the silent prayer upon the breeze
