here i am, lord
Singer:schutte, dan
i have heard my people cry
all who dwell in dark and sin
who made the stars of night
i will make their darkness bright
who will bear my light to them?
i have heard you calling in the night
i will hold your people in my heart
the lord of snow and rain
i have borne my people's pain
i have wept for love of them
i will break their hearts of stone
give them hearts for love alone
who will speak my word to them
i have heard you calling in the night
i will hold your people in my heart
the lord of wind and flame
i will tend the poor and lame
i will set a feast for them
finest bread i will provide
'til their hearts be satisfied
i will give my life to them
i have heard you calling in the night
i will hold your people in my heart
