Looking for the lyrics to this song "Here I Am Lord." Used to sing it at Catholic guitar Mass in the 1980's.
Words I remember(lines from several verses):
I the Lord of wind and sea
I have heard my people's plea
I have died for love of them
They turn away.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus (I think this is verbatim):
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.

Hi there. Here are the lyrics you're looking for. Words and Music are by Daniel L. Schutte, copyright 1981.

Mr. Schutte's Web site is at http://www.danschutte.com/main.htm

1.
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

Chorus
Here am I, 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.

2.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Chorus

3.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

Chorus

4.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus

5.
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.

Chorus

6.
Finest bread I will provide,
'Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus

As always, the lyrics are posted for informational purposes only. If you plan to use these, sheet music is available on MusicNotes.Com

Hope it helps!

God bless,
Steve

Hi Guest. I can't post the chords, as this would be a copyright violation. But you can purchase an Octavio for $1 here...I assume one of the books/octavios here would have chords, but you might want to call the company to check first.

If you're interested in hearing it, there's a nice recording on this CD:

Your best resource is probably to ask the composer himself. According to his Web site, the e-mail address is:

Who wrote the hymn Here I Am Lord?

"Here I Am, Lord", also known as "I, the Lord of Sea and Sky" after its opening line, is a Christian hymn written by the American composer of Catholic liturgical music Dan Schutte in 1979 and published in 1981.

What is the meaning of here I am Lord?

The use of “Here I am Lord” reveals purpose. Isaiah was saying he was here on earth for a specific purpose and he wanted that purpose to be the Lord's. As he immediately followed it with “send me,” he didn't wait to hear what the Lord would say but wrote a blank check to the Lord, a universal yes to God's plan for him.

Who wrote the Methodist hymnal?

The United Methodist Hymnal was developed by a revision committee composed of twenty-five members led by editor Carlton R. Young (who also edited The Methodist Hymnal), and chaired by Bishop Rueben P. Job. It was the first hymnal following The Methodist Church's merger with The Evangelical United Brethren Church.

Is Count Your Blessings in The United Methodist Hymnal?

The song was added to hymnals published by the Methodists, Presbyterians, Disciples and southern gospel publishers. Even into the mid-20th century, the song continued to be a favorite. The song was especially popular in the United Kingdom.
