I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people’s cry. All who dwell in deepest sin, my hand will save. I who

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 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?

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 be satisfied. I will give my life to them, whom shall I send?
