7 Guitar Chord Charts B7 9 B7 9/D D7(add11) Performance Notes Inspired by the well-known prayer attributed to St. Francis of ssisi, is a setting of that popular prayer re-focused for liturgy and community sung-prayer. The challenge of Christ to be Eucharist and the realization that God is our peace are the two predominant themes found in this piece, making it appropriate for many occasions and liturgical actions. is not a song for the Greeting of Peace, though it is an appropriate piece for Communion. Care should be taken in choosing that neither drags nor rushes: one that supports the lyric nature of the music. T.K.
