Beulah walks me to church
And when we get there
I light a candle for my son
And I do too

I suddenly realize
What that music was from my dream
It was an old hymn
From when I was a kid
And I haven't been to church in years
But for some reason that song
Was in my head

Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there is hatred
Let me bring Your love
Where there is injury
Your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt
True faith in You

Make me a channel of Your peace
Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
(Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope)
Where there is darkness, only light
(Where there is darkness, only light)
And where there's sadness, ever joy (Ever joy)

Oseh shalom bim'romav
Hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu
V'al kol yisrael
V'imru
V'imru amen

There is a man here in town
He's lived here nearly his entire life
He heard that there was a Rabbi diverted here
And he came to find me
And tell me his story

I was born in Poland I think
And my parents
They were Jews
They sent me here
Before the war started
I still remember some of the prayers they taught me
As a boy
I was told
I should never tell anyone I was Jewish
Even my wife
But after what happened on Tuesday
So many stories gone
Just like that
I needed to tell someone

During El Fagir
When most people are asleep
It is easier to pray
But at Dhuhr
I can feel them watching me
Sometimes I catch them
When they think I'm not looking
And I can see the fear
In their eyes

Excuse me
Beulah wanted me to check on you
The library's open
For anyone looking for some peace
And a quiet place to pray

Ya'aseh shalom (Ya'aseh)
Ya'aseh shalom (shalom)
Shalom aleinu
V'al kol yisrael
Ya'aseh shalom (Aasato maa)
Ya'aseh shalom (Sad gamaya)
Shalom aleinu (Tamaso maa)
V'al kol yisrael (Jyotire gamaya)

Oh Master
Grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled
As to console
To be understood
As to understand
To be loved
As to love with all my soul

Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there's despair in life
Let me bring hope
Where there is darkness
Only light
And where there's sadness
Ever joy
