I
I STRAYED AWAY FROM THE NARROW WAY.
I THOUGHT I COULD MAKE IT.
FORGETTING WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM
AND WHERE THE ROAD WOULD TAKE ME.
I TRIED SO HARD TO FIGHT MY WAY THROUGH
THINKING I WAS DOING FINE.
WHEN I HEARD YOU SAY TO ME CHILD HERE AM I.
II
I REALIZED THE WRONG I'D DONE AND FELT SO ASHAMED
I BEGIN TO READ SOME IN GOD'S WORD.
AND OH IT WAS SO PAINFUL CAUSE I HAD STRAYED SO FAR FROM HIM.
AND WASTED SO MUCH TIME.
THEN I KNELT AND SAID TO HIM LORD HERE AM I.
CHORUS
HERE AM I LORD SEND ME.
LET ME BE JUST WHERE YOU'D WANT ME TO BE.
HERE AM I LORD SEND ME
LET ME BE AN INSTRUMENT FOR THEE.
IT MATTERS NOT IF I MUST LEAVE MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY
HERE AM I LORD SEND ME.
