#16 HERE AM I! SEND ME
The LORD spoke and gave an important word one day;
Whom may He send? Who would go without dismay?
The need to bring Light into the world is still very strong;
Who would rise up and declare? “To the LORD, I belong!”
The heart that is cleansed and the mind that has seen Light;
The good servant hears and he will serve with all his might.
Darkness prevails and many are caught in the grips of sin;
Consecration is vital! One must serve through thick and thin!
The ministry of the LORD is not easy for wicked is man’s heart;
It disregards the Light and from darkness, he will not depart!
The Word may be shared but the heart will not easily yield;
God is set aside; He is not the Refuge nor is He the Shield!
The ministry of the LORD is fraught with difficulty;
Yet, the faithful servant will say, “Here am I! Send me.”
God will empower His servants and give them His Light;
The true servant will be strong and faithful- for this is right!
