A Drop in the Ocean
Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum
Adveniat regnum tuum
Fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem: sed libera nos a malo
Amen
Lord, make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon
Where there is discord, let me sow harmony
Where there is error, I may bring truth
Where there is doubt, let me sow faith
Where there's despair, let me sow hope
Where there is darkness, I may bring light
Where there is sadness, I may bring joy
Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! Oh, the wings of a dove!
I would fly away, I would flee far away and be at rest
I would find my place of shelter far from the tempest and storm
Ah, Jesus, you are my God
Jesus, you are my spouse
Jesus, my life, my love, my all in all
My work is nothing but a drop in the ocean, but if I did not put that drop, the ocean would be one drop the less
