Lord make me an instrument. Not a trumpet or a guitar Not an organ or a flute But an instrument of peace God make me a teacher Not a teacher of philosophy Nor a teacher of Music or art But a teacher of humility Lord make me a servant Not in governance Not in business But a servant of your people Lord make me an instrument of peace Lord make me  a teacher of humility Lord make me a servant of your people Lord make me a human being.
