This week anthem is "Here I am Lord" which is one of our favorites. It will be lifted up by both the chancel choir and the youth handbell.
Whenever I sing the song, it gives me joyful tears feeling with love of God. Especially, seeing a tragedy of Haiti, God tells us who He is really beyond all pains and sadness through the song. Even though lots of people question where God was when the earth quake happened, we need to keep our faith in Him that He is a loving Father.
I pray that Lord be glorified by this anthem on this Sunday, uses this song to comfort people's hearts with His abundant love.
Here is the lyric. Enjoy!
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.
1.I, who made the stars of night,I will make their darkness bright.Who will bear my light to them?Whom shall I send? I, who made the stars of night,I will make their darkness bright.Who will bear my light to them?Whom shall I send?
2.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 words to them.Whom shall I send?
3. I, the Lord of wind and flame,I will send 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?
