Here I Am Lord Lyrics

I, the Lord, of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will see
I who made, the stars and night,
I will make the darkness bright
Who will bare my life to them?
Whom shall I send?
I will break the hearts of stone
Heal their hearts for love alone
I will speak my word to them
Who 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 send peace for them
My hand will say
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them
Who 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

(baby crying)
Happy birthday, baby Jesus!
You look fantastic

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

Happy Birthday To Me

I, the Lord, of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will see
I who made, the stars and night,
I will make the darkness bright
Who will bare my life to them?
Whom shall I send?
I will break the hearts of stone
Heal their hearts for love alone
I will speak my word to them
Who 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 send peace for them
My hand will say
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them
Who 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

(baby crying)
Happy birthday, baby Jesus!
You look fantastic

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is what my Mother-In-Law was all about. I never got to meet her because she left us too early 10/18/1988. She lived her life like we should all try to live it. Caring, loving, sacraficing, giving, and then giving some more. Always trying to do what she believed was right....... " What you do for others, you do for me "

God is insecure and indecisive in light of all the pain and misery according to this well known hymn. Still God has no problem boasting all the fantastic things he could do.
