SO SEND I YOU

SO SEND I YOU
By Margaret Clarkson/John W. Peterson
So send I you, by grace made strong to triumph
O’er hosts of hell, o’er darkness, death and sin,
My name to bear, and in that name to conquer;
So send I you, My victory to win.
So send I you, to take to souls in bondage
The Word of Truth that sets the captive free,
To break the bonds of sin, to loose death’s fetters,
So send I you to bring the lost to Me.
So send I you to labor unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing-
So send I you to toil for Me alone.
So send I you to bind the bruised and broken,
O’er wand’ring souls to work, to weep, to wake,
To bear the burdens of a world aweary-
So send I you to suffer for My sake.
So send I you, My strength to know in weakness,
My joy in grief, My perfect peace in pain.
To prove My power, My grace My promised presence;
So send I you, eternal fruit to gain.
So send I you to loneliness and longing,
With heart ahung’ring for the loved and known,
Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one-
So send I you to know My love alone.
So send I you to leave your life’s ambition,
To die to dear desire, self-will resign,
To labor long, and love where men revile you-
So send I you to lose your life in Mine.
So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred,
To eyes made blind because they will not see,
To prove My power, My grace, My promised presence;
So send I you to taste of Calvary.
So send I you, to bear my cross with patience,
And then one day with joy to lay it down,
To hear my voice, “Well done, My faithful servant;
Come share My throne, My kingdom and My crown.”
“AS THE FATHER HATH SENT ME, SO SEND I YOU.”
