I will make their darkness bright. if you lead me.

Who will bear my light to them? I will hold your people in my heart.
Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of snow and rain, Here I am, Lord.

I have borne my people's pain. Is it I, Lord?
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away. I have heard you calling in the night.

I will break their hearts of stone, I will go, Lord,

give them hearts for love alone. if you lead me.

I will speak my word to them. I will hold your people in my heart.

Whom shall I send?
