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?
Who 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 m my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain;
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;
Who 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 m my heart.

Descant:
Ah, ah, ah,
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?
Chorus:
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will rend 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?
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 m my heart.
