“Then said I; Here am I, send me…”
In the womb was I molded
Fearfully and wonderfully made
Created with the likeness of God
Born to wrestle with the sinful wage
And out of adolescents I survived
Battered from failings of my own
But promised a better life
Beyond my imprisoned throne
In confines and spaces
The capsules and chambers
My God predestined language
That would bless my heart with the Savior
And rising from the crypt
As Jesus the Son of Man
I became a new creature
Petitioned to the Great I AM
And though personal sin
Slithers like the serpent it loves
My soul is shielded from death
Certified with the Creator’s love
And does my calling lure me
Well with my soul it is
The hope of fate in God
His will be done; mine and His
And lo, He is with me,
Even unto the end
He summoned my destiny
So that He could send
My lips did proclaim
Here am I, send me
Into all the world, my Jesus
The Light for the blind to see
Into the faraway lands
And to the distant nations
Let me hearken to You
Establish invitations
Gather the dissenting masses
Into the fold flock them close
Bless me with an irrefutable doctrine
Refuse not the Holy Ghost
Send me to the seas
Oceans parting with crests
Upon ships, vessels, and rafts
Be it East or West
In the forested terrains
Groves and tunnels underground
I pray that I minister
To where resistant souls abound
In the alleys and public venues
Of decaying countries find me
Biblically counseling
With apocalyptic speed
The axis of the planet
And even the galactic hosts
I beseech Thee that I may preach
Alone with the cross I boast
And I myself turned
Observing those as friends
My God peered inside
Anticipation over when
The Lord said,
Who may it be?
And I replied,
Here am I, send me
