Here I Am, Lord

HERE I AM, LORD

By: Dan Schutte, S.J.

                          I

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?

Refrain:

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.

                       II

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? (Refrain)

                        III

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? (Refrain)
