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 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 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 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.
