Katherine Jenkins performs a moving rendition of the classic prayer-hymn 'Make Me a Channel of Your Peace,' which is based on the Peace Prayer of Saint Francis. The song is a heartfelt plea to become an instrument of God's peace, asking to bring love where there is hatred, pardon where there is injury, and hope where there is despair. It emphasizes selfless service, seeking to console, understand, and love others rather than being consoled or understood. The lyrics also touch on the paradox of Christian living: that in giving we receive, in pardoning we are pardoned, and in dying we are born to eternal life. Jenkins' powerful vocals convey the song's message of surrender and peace.

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy
And where there's sadness, ever joy
