I, the Lord of sea and sky, <br />I have heard my people cry. <br />All who dwell in dark and sin, <br />My hand will save. <br /> <br />I, who made the stars of night, <br />I will make their darkness bright. <br />Who will bear my light to them? <br />Whom shall I send? <br /> <br />Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? <br />I have heard you calling in the night. <br />I will go, Lord, if you lead me. <br />I will hold your people in my heart. <br /> <br />I, the Lord of snow and rain, <br />I have borne my people's pain. <br />I have wept for love of them. <br />They turn away. <br /> <br />I will break their hearts of stone, <br />Give them hearts for love alone. <br />I will speak my words to them. <br />Whom shall I send? <br /> <br />Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? <br />I have heard you calling in the night. <br />I will go, Lord, if you lead me. <br />I will hold your people in my heart. <br /> <br />I, the Lord of wind and flame, <br />I will send the poor and lame. <br />I will set a feast for them. <br />My hand will save. <br /> <br />Finest bread I will provide, <br />'Til their hearts be satisfied. <br />I will give my life to them. <br />Whom shall I send? <br /> <br />Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? <br />I have heard you calling in the night. <br />I will go, Lord, if you lead me. <br />I will hold your people in my heart.<br /><br />Rita Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-i-am-lord-2/
