Peace Beyond Understanding

Music by Tom Kneier; Arranged by Ray Niccolai; based on the Peace Prayer of St. Francis and Phil. 4:7

O Divine Master grant that I may not seek much 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; born to eternal life.
