"Here I Am, Lord" Music Video
Here's a recording of a very popular church hymn, "Here I Am, Lord," performed at a wedding in Florida. I grew up with this song, as I'm sure many have. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Verse 1)
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 have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save.
I who make the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?
Chorus)
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, where You lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I will go, Lord, where You lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
Verse 2)
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 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 words to them. Whom shall I send? (Chorus)
Verse 3)
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them. Whom shall I send? (Chorus)
Verse 3)
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.
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Fin-est bread I will provide,
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? (Chorus)
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? (Chorus)
