PILGRIM’S THEME PRAYER OF ST.

FRANCIS

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace.
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air Where there is hatred, let me sow Love.
Tired of getting tired of doing what's required Where there is injury, thy Pardon, Lord.
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things Where there is doubt, let there be Faith.
Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine Oh Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace.
Through with going through one more day - what's new Where there is despair, let me bring Hope.
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of Where there is darkness, let there be Light.
things where there is sadness, let there be Joy.
REFRAIN 1:
I think I'll follow the voice that calls within O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek:
Dance to the silent song it sings to be consoled, as to console,
I hope to find my place to be understood, as to understand,
So my life can fall in place to be loved, as to love.
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace.
Each must go his way, but how can I decide Where there is hatred, let me sow Love.
Which path I should take, who will be my guide For it is in giving that we receive,
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things And it's in dying that we are born
The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find to eternal life, to eternal life.
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace.
Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise An instrument of thy Peace. Amen.
For it's Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of
things
(REFRAIN 1)
For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart
Of the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)
REFRAIN 2:
Why don't we follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we'll find our place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things
