Here I Am, Lord

 

We are all called to serve the Lord,
Each one in our own way.
That service isn’t without price,
But grace is ours each day.
 
He calls us to stand up for Him,
To honor what He taught.
He calls us to live in the Word,
The redemption He bought.
 
He calls us to carry the news
Of His ceaseless mercy.
For those still lost in the darkness,
Be a light they can see.
 
The calling comes to each of us,
And each of us must choose
To stand for Him or turn in fear
Of all there is to lose.
 
It may be easier to say
“Please, Lord, don’t call on me.”
Yet, that is not the child of grace
That I want me to be.
 
Oh Lord, please give me ears to hear
When You call out my name,
And give me faith that’s strong enough
To stand up and proclaim,
“Here I am, Lord! Send me!”
 
Isaiah 6:8
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
