Lyrics
Who am I? A little one.
What can I possibly do?
Who am I? I'm just a child
A child who wants to serve You.
I can't speak another tongue.
Who'd take me? I'm so young.
Here am I, a simple soul.
Send me, Lord. Let me go.
Chorus: Here am I. Send me, Lord.
Send me out, and I'll obey.
Here am I. Send me, Lord.
Let Your Spirit tell me what to say.
I see the world so full of needs
And full of unreached people, too.
Someone's got to sacrifice.
I know that's what you want me to do.
(Chorus)
Lord, You are the King of kings
You're my Master; I'm Your slave
Now you've made me all Your own
And from my heart I say:
(Chorus)
