Isaiah 6:8 “Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”

April marks the 20th anniversary of National Poetry Month, which was inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. Over the years, National Poetry Month has become the largest literary celebration in the world with schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers, and poets celebrating poetry’s vital place in our culture.. In celebration of National Poetry Month, I prepared a poem for today’s post.

Here Am I

A world lost in sin and darkness
I glimpse from heaven on high
Who can reach my loved ones?
Send me Lord, here am I

The poor, the sick and the forgotten
I hear their anguished souls cry
Who will teach them the path to Life?
Send my Lord, here am I

Busyness and worldly wants abounding
But their souls feel empty and run dry
Who will show them the love of Christ?
Send my Lord, here am I

Their Savior died to give life eternal
But time is short and they must decide
Who will show them to the Throne of Grace?
Send me Lord, here am I

The Lord calls each of us to reach the lost
To show them the path of life on high
Will you answer the call of Jesus and say?
Send me Lord, here am I

May the Lord Bless you and keep you.
