A speaker delivers a poetic prayer that pairs opposing forces: hatred with love, doubt with faith, silence with praise, darkness with light. The prayer asks for the strength to listen instead of be heard, to comfort instead of be comforted, to love without needing love in return.
Chapters
Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is doubt, let me bring faith. Where there is false food, let me bring true. Where there is pain, I'll comfort you. Where there is silence, let me sing praise. Where there's despair, let me bring hope. Where there is blindness, let me bring sight. Where there is darkness, let me bring light. And with these words I speak, grant that I may not seek to be heard, but to hear; to be consoled, but to console; not to be seen, but to see; not to be loved, but to love. Not but to love. Oh, when we give love, we will receive. When we forgive love, will find reprieve. It is in time we'll be released. Make me a new of thy peace, of thy peace.
