Here I am Lord

This song used to be on the top 10 list in the hardware hidden in my brain. However, due to infrequent usage like so many other songs, I had forgotten about it until it was sung in church today. I was reminded of the promise I had made to the Lord so many years ago when I first heard Here I Am Lord. As I renew my convenant with Him today, may you make this your prayer too and tell the Lord, "Here I am".

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 and night
I will make the 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
Fill their hearts with love alone
I will speak my word 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 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?

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

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Isaiah 6:8
