Here Am I, Lord Send Me

[Baughcum]

I remember a very old hymn from my Georgia Baptist youth with a refrain that included the words, "Here am I, Lord send me." The hymn was written long before the current favorite "Here I Am." Nor is it the bluesy tune by Mississippi John Hurt. I believe that the title of the hymn might be "Here Am I" or "Lord Send Me" or both but I can find nothing about it on the Internet. Can anyone help?

[Holyone]

Sometimes Your calling, comes in dream
Sometimes in comes in the Spirit's breeze
You reach for the deepest hope in me
And call out for the things of eternity

But I'm a man, of dust and stains,
You move in me, so I can say

Chorus
Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan,
Here I am

When setbacks and failures, and upset plans
Test my faith and leave me with empty hands

Are You not the closest when it's hardest to stand
I know that You will finish what You began

And these broken parts You will redeem
Become the song that I can sing

Chorus

Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness
And the fear that I'll fail You in the end
In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces,
I can't put this together but You can

Chorus

Here I Am, all my life an offering to You, to You
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan
Here I am






Here I Am, Send Me

Oh lord, there's just so much to be done.

Oh lord, so many souls to be won,

Oh lord, this world is falling apart,

Dying for love from a broken heart.

Here am i, send me, though there's really not that much I can do.

What I have seems so small, but I want to give it all to you.

Oh lord, you said the harvest was great,

But lord, looks like the workers are late.

It's getting hard to understand,

How they ignore your great command.

Here am i, send me, though you said the ones who labor are few,

Still my heart hears the call, and I wanna give it all to you.

Oh, to reach the ones nobody does,

Give up my pride and even work in the mud,

I wanna be like those who spilled their blood,

And gave it like water to you.

Oh lord, there's just so much to be done.

Oh lord, so many souls to be won,

It seem this world is falling apart,

Lord won't you send me?

Oh lord, there's just so much to be done.

Oh lord, so many souls to be won,

Oh lord, this world is falling apart,

Crying for love from a broken heart.

Here am i, send me, though there's really not that much I can do.

What I have seems so small, but I want to give it all to you.

Here am i, send me,

Though you said the ones you've chosen are few,

Still my heart hears you call,

And I wanna give it all to you.
