"Instrument of Peace"

I've been a tad busy recently with work, building new banjos and, most time consuming of all, trying to build my own website. Not for NBB but for my prints and paintings. It's proving a bit of a testing proposition and i've spent far to many hours staring in disbelief at my laptop shouting things like 'but i've already done that you ***** **ing **** infuriating geek centred beast from the pit.'
But while this has been happening I feel i've neglected this site and the submissions I've been sent. So to put that right I'll be posting those songs over the next few days. This first one is from PB Guttenburg and a collaborator know only as Lauren.

PB says:
'My pal Lauren called round to the Crag and we worked on a few songs.
This is the first- "Instrument of Peace" based on the famous prayer by St Francis.

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen."
