Lyrics · Isaiah
Here Am I, Send Me
Isaiah 6:1-13
[Processional Chant]
Woe is me, I am undone,
My lips cannot bear what my eyes have become.
The crown of a mortal king fell into dust,
[Verse 1]
Yet the throne beyond thrones stood blazing and just.
Six wings veiled wonder; the thresholds replied,
Holy rolled outward like thunder made light.
A coal from the altar, a fire without fraud,
[Chorus]
Woe is me, I am undone,
My lips cannot bear what my eyes have become.
Touched guilt at the mouth before service to God.
Then a question crossed smoke no empire could tame:
[Silence]
Who will carry this word through refusal and flame?
[Verse 2]
Not because the road was easy or the hearing was sure,
But because the One who called had first made clean.
Here am I in the echo, here am I in the cost,
[Final Chorus]
Woe is me, I am undone,
My lips cannot bear what my eyes have become.
Send me with the word until the holy seed is not lost.
