Faites de moi un instrument de votre paix by Maggie Furtak — Lyrics
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
Là où il y a l'erreur, que je mette la vérité.
Là où il y a le doute, que je mette la foi.
Là où il y a le désespoir, que je mette l'espérance.
Là où il y a les ténèbres, que je mette votre lumière.
Là où il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.

About Faites de moi un instrument de votre paix
Maggie Furtak sets the well-known prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi in its original French. This sacred anthem for SSATB choir captures the meditative and aspirational spirit of the text, translating its powerful message into music. The composer's setting flows through the poignant pleas for peace, love, and understanding, asking the singer to become an instrument of solace and light. The work explores the inherent paradoxes of the prayer: that in giving, one receives; in forgetting oneself, one finds true self; and in forgiving, one is forgiven. Furtak's composition is deeply suited to services seeking profound reflection and spiritual introspection, offering a moving musical interpretation of this beloved prayer.
