Gathering Song

‘ Here I Am , Lord ’ 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 , who made the stars of night , I will make their darkness bright . Who will bear my light to them ? Whom shall I send ?
Refrain : 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 heard 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 ?
Refrain : 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 till their hearts be satisfied . I will give my life to them . Whom shall I send ?
Refrain : 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 .
