MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE (Key of D)

D A/D
Make me a channel of Your peace.
D Em A7
Where there is hatred let me sow Your love.
Em A7
Where there is injury, your pardon, God
Em A7 D
And where there’s doubt, true faith in You.

Chorus:
G D
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
Em A7 D D7
So much to be consoled as to console
G D
To be understood as to understand
E A A/G A/F# A/E
To be loved as to love with all my soul, my soul

D A/D
Make me a channel of Your peace
D Em A7
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope
Em A7
Where there is darkness…let me bring Your light
Em A7 D
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.
