Here I Am, Lord

Music and words by Daniel L. Schutte


"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?

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 a way.
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 are satisfied.
I will give My life to them.
