Instruments Of Peace
Brian Doerksen's song "Instruments of Peace" is a prayerful worship piece asking God to make believers agents of peace in a broken world. The lyrics focus on bringing kindness where there is hatred, hope where there is despair, and forgiveness where there is injustice. It emphasizes becoming channels of God's love and peace, reflecting a deep desire for personal transformation and service. The song's simple, repetitive structure makes it suitable for congregational singing and personal reflection, encouraging listeners to embody Christ-like compassion and reconciliation.
Make us instruments of peace
Where hatred hurts
Let kindness bring relief
Lord, make us channels of your love and peace
Make us instruments of peace
If some despair
Hope will help us breathe
Lord, make us channels of your love and peace
Make us instruments of peace
Injustice wounds
Forgiveness heals
Lord, make us channels of your love and peace
