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?
Who shall I send?

Chorus
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 run 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?

Chorus
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?
 

Chorus
