Here I am, Lord

A song I know from singing in the Folk Group in church as a teenager. I don't know who to give credit to so if you do please write it in the comments section. David if you see this and can embed a link so people can hear it that would be awesome. Can't find, "paste" on the iPad.




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 peoples 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?

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.

So you might be thinking that I am singing this about myself, whom Shall I send, sending me to Haiti, but really it is the Haitian people God is sending to us, to renew our faith. We have the material possessions but they have the faith in God. Which would you rather have?

Dear God, let us Americans be inspired by the faith and joy of the Haitian people that can only come from You. Of course ease their physical suffering but please Lord, let them not fall into the same trap as America, rich in money but poor in spirit. I am filled with love for You and the opportunity You have given me to learn. I love You Lord and thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to save us and bring us to eternal life in You. Amen.
