Communion | Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in deepest 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
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 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
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 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
’til their hearts be satisfied
I will give My life to them
Whom shall I send
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 will hold Your people in my heart
Closing | We Are Your Love
[Skip to 0:58 for Verse]
Where You lead us
we will follow
and where You send us we shall go
With hearts wide open
we bring Your loving presence
Your light shall lead us as we go
Each step we take brings Your mercy
Each move we make brings Your love
We are Your hands, Your hands
reaching out with mercy
We are Your voice, Your voice
speaking words of freedom
Light in the dark for all to see
life-giving water for the thirsty
we are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
We are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
