HERE I AM, LORD

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 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?

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 word to them:

Whom shall I send?

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

Till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give my life to them:

Whom shall I send?
