Love Can Change

the World

aaron niequist

bridges are more

beautiful than bombs are

bridges are more

beautiful than bombs

listening is louder

than a lecture

listening is louder than a shout

but Love

Love can change the world

oh do we still believe that

Love

Love can change the world

oh do we still believe in

Love?  Love?

God is Love,

our God is Love and

Love can change the world

an open hand is

stronger than a fist is

an open hand is

stronger than a fist

wonder is more

valuable than Wall Street

wonder is more

valuable than gold

may we never stop

this dreaming

of a better world

may we never stop believing

in the impossible

God is love

The Prayer of

St Francis

Lord, make me an

instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred,

let me sow love;

when there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may

not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood,

as to understand,

to be loved as to love;

for it is in giving

that we receive,

it is in pardoning

that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying

that we are born to eternal life.

Have Thine Own Way Lord

Adelaide Pollard

Have Thine own way, Lord!

Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter,

I am the clay.

Mold me and make me

after Thy will,
While I am waiting,

yielded and still.

Have Thine own way, Lord!

Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me,

Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord,

wash me just now,
As in Thy presence

humbly I bow.

Have Thine own way, Lord!

Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary,

help me, I pray!

Power, all power,

surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me,

Savior divine.

Have Thine own way, Lord!

Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being

absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit

’till all shall see
Christ only, always,

living in me.
