Here I am Lord

This is a hymn for several Protestant Faiths and I believe even for the Catholic Church.  The message is beautiful no matter. The words so deeply belong to Anziano Eads and to his fellow missionaries in both the Rome, Italy Mission, and in all the missions. It belongs to each of us who claim discipleship, fulfilling the covenant we have as found in Mosiah 18:

  8 And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called)and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

 9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—

I know I need to do a better job of listening to my Savior and His Spirit, when prompted to bless those around me. I need to use my talents, skills, and abilities to bless others.  One cannot be weary in doing good works.

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?
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 in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have born my peoples 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,
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 in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend 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 in my heart.

The author in YouTube calls this something else but the actual song is Here I am Lord.

The music is available at this LINK.

Let us each give a gift back to Jesus Christ year by listening more and being available more. Here I am Lord. I will go Lord, if You lead me.
