Here I am Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky,

I have heard my people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin,

my hand will save.

I, who made the stars of night,

I will make their darkness bright

Who will bear my light to them?

Whom shall I send?

 

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go, Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold your people in my heart.

 

I, the Lord of snow and rain,

I have borne my people’s pain.

I have wept for love of them,

They turn away

I will break their hearts of stone,

give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak my words to them.

Who shall I send?

 

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go, Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold your people in my heart.

 

I, the Lord of wind and flame,

I will tend the poor and lame.

I will set a feast for them.

My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide,

’til their hearts be satisfied.

will give my life to them.

Whom shall I send?

 

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go, Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold your people in my heart.
