  • Here I am Lord
    I, the Lord of sea and sky,
    I have heard My people cry.
    All who dwell in dark and sin,
    My hand will save.
    I who made the stars of night,
    I will make their darkness bright.
    Who will bear My light to them?
    Whom shall I send?
    Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
    I have heard You calling in the night.
    I will go Lord, if You lead me.
    I will hold Your people in my heart.
    I, the Lord of wind and flame,
    I will tend the poor and lame.
    I will set a feast for them,
    My hand will save
    Finest bread I will provide,
    Till their hearts be satisfied.
    I will give My life to them,
    Whom shall I send?
    Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
    I have heard You calling in the night.
    I will go Lord, if You lead me.
    I will hold Your people in my heart.

    Despite being Protestant, my grandma requested this to be sang at her funeral (I’ve been told this is a Catholic hymn). She passed 19/2/23 and the funeral was 23/2/23. I appreciate that she chose such a positive hymn that really celebrated everything she believed in. I miss you so much, grandma. I’ll always love you.

      May God's perpetual light shine upon her. Absolutely one of my favorite hymns. It brings me to tears every time. Jesus chose to come to this Earth to shatter the grip of sin, by his own sacrifice. He defeated the prince of darkness and DEATH! Your Grandma lives forever through Our Lord, Jesus Christ!!

      My beautiful baby brother never made it to full sobriety.
      He died on 11/19/2019 of a drug overdose at the age of 51.
      Our beloved mother passed in 2017, she was from Portugal and daddy was 89 when he had to bury his youngest son.
      Dad was also the son of European immigrants. He passed on 1/1/22. I pray that they have found each other and I hope when God calls me, I will be given the gift to join them….

      Anxiety is forbidden in the Kingdom of God. Connect with the Lord spiritually and say this prayer every morning. God, I offer myself to Thee - To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. I know it’s difficult but every day we have to allow the Lord to live through us. God will give you signs throughout the day that you are doing His if you are. There’s a comfort to calm anxiety when you see these signs. Jesus said to live like the birds knowing that God will provide your next meal. If you can help volunteer somewhere, that also will really help you connect with your brothers and sisters, and God will show you where to go.

      Cindy, just because the song/hymn is written by former seminarians does not mean it's a Roman Catholic hymn.. When one uses the small "c" in catholic it refers to the term universal. So yes, the song is catholic=universal. Used in Protestant churches for Ordinations, Commissioning of mission trips, Communion, and funerals.

      @@ericymtomand it’s rare for a hymn to be particularly Catholic. As Catholics are Christian (despite hateful people saying otherwise). Christian music gets heard and spread through many churches. My father was a Presbyterian minister of music and often brought in music used in other denominations.
      Now, the big crime is holding up Mother Teresa as a saint when she was cruel and took in so much money that never was used to help the poor and sick. Look it up!

      John Amata i am not allowed to be a fan of normal stuff only because I am religious? we aren't a separate species, we do the same things as everyone else just that we have different beliefs. in the end you cannot judge anyone. no one is a perfect role model, etc. so please don't act like you are perfect. as I said being a catholic is a lifestyle and we learn to forgive and forget, in the end we are all still humans and make our own choices

      +lew zav I never said I was perfect but there is a difference between normal stuff and things that would have priest gasping and nuns fainting. Listen I know you are a person just like everyone else what I am saying though is a man who is straight cant go on date with another man while telling straight people that they need to stay straight. Listen I was bored and decided to listen to this song (my favorite church song) and I went into the comments (only God knows why I would do something crazy like that) and I saw your comment and it spoke to me, I just suddenly felt happy. But then I looked at your profile pic and it seemed dark and vindictive somehow so I checked out your profile (something I never do) and boom! I'm judging you as a person but as a preacher it kind of hurt me to see someone with such a powerful message being into; violence, killing and explicit language. (I like all that stuff too but that's why I'm in the pew not behind the podium)

God will know if we were actually good people

      I will say a prayer for you. Please hang onto your faith. I know it has seen a good many of us through life whether the times are good or downright bad. God answers within his wise time frame. May God bless you and your faith. Nourish it with the Word of God. You'll reap the benefits throughout life. And if you can make it to church, then know that it's always good to have a network of caring ppl around you, to be there for you. Please be ready to make friends though some ppl (no matter what church) might not want to overwhelm you, at least at first, bc they might think you'll see it as if they're trying to get in your space. They might be a bit unsure of how receptive you are to them, dear. I pray all the best for you, truly!!! You're on a faith journey and I really think you'll fare well!!

    I am not a Church goer and haven't been for many years, but I still believe that one day I will be called by my Creator. I am now at the age of 60 and in deteriorating health, realising this, my head is starting to tell me my days are numbered on this earth plane. Somehow I do not feel afraid, just want to know my Wife and Family will be looked after. I don't have that bottom less pit of money to share. Just want them all to know I love them. Why am I writing this to strangers???? not sure of the answer apart from searching for such hymns as this which I have sung in Church in past years and like, as it gives me comfort singing and listening to the lyrics. As a result of this I have now chosen two hymns this one and the other is Take My Life and Let it be. Having left my country of birth (UK) and now living in Spain I don't want some Vicar attempting to have known me for years saying things about me that all would think is this the same person WE KNOW? The other reason I am choosing the songs with lyrics is having attending more funerals than other celebrations in my life I find it difficult to sing in celebration of the life being overcome more so with the loss. So this way whoever, if anyone does attend they can simply stand read the lyrics listen to the beautiful voices and if able to do so join in. ALAN BORBEAU I too like so many have been through those dark time my friend but have found the strength somehow to continue so please do not feel alone. It is not for us to decide when. Be thankful of each new day and enjoy, as this life is no rehearsal, we do not get a second chance at it. Throughout my life I have felt that my only purpose here on this earthplane was to be of help to others when I can - where and if I can. I am therefor proud that I have had the opportunity of doing this being an active member of the UK Emergency Service and an International Voluntary Humanitarian Organisation working with and training volunteers who also want to help others in crisis, this work spread over 30+ years. I still help in this country too as a Volunteer with our local Proteccion Civil but sadly I am not currently active due to ill health.
    Maybe doing this is me trying to say i think I have tried to do good but also realise that I am also a sinner in so many ways and have often prayed to God for forgiveness, but there are only so many times you can do this. God knows what we have done right or wrong and only He Will Be Our Judge. I fall at your feet Lord and accept you decision. TO ALL who take the time reading this BE HAPPY live your life to the full, be PROUD of who and what your are and ignore any of the prejudicial comments or opinions of others, it is your life. God Bless you all and accept my love and hug. KEEP UP THIS EXCELLENT FACILITY.

    The words to this song have always felt so deeply personal to me....when I was little, I would get nightmares showing me things that it would take nearly a decade for me to understand and my grandmother, Mama-T, would tell me that the way to handle whatever Spirit was showing me was to ask, "Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart." She said that when Spirit gives us visions of people's suffering, it is Spirit's way of asking us to do something about it. So if you want a miracle to happen, you have to be willing to allow Spirit to use YOUR life to make it happen. She was one of my earliest spiritual teachers who I feel so deeply blessed to have known.🙏🏼

    Secretly I've been struggling with my faith - I've made some mistakes and some days I simply can't bring myself to believe in anything. But today I went to mass by my father's request and they played this as the closing hymn. I cried while trying to sing it because despite it all, some nights I really can hear Him calling, and it made me realise that I can't just give up on the religion that has kept me alive and full of love until now.

I helped her plan her funeral it wasn't far away at that point) and one hymn that we picked was "The Strife is O'er, The Battle Done". It is such a beautiful hymn and perfect for a funeral. I tear up just thinking about it. I hope they will play it someday at my funeral.

I was ashamed of myself because of what God did for us and what his son suffered for us. I will never forget. And I hope to bless as many lives. As those who have blessed me, it's truly been a miracle.

    This is my favorite religious song. My grandmother died before I was born and loved this song. My mother told me to listen to it, And I did. Its a genuine work of art in the form of music, and It brings somber thoughts, happy thoughts, and so much other mixed emotions. Its almost underated. God bless you, and, while this might be "unoriginal" I truely, from the bottom of your heart wanted to say:
    You are loved, God is on your side.
    You have one life, live life happly, and dont give up. Stay strong during tough times.
    God bless your soul, I hope you, if your younger, grow up to have a happy job. If your Older, then continue to be mentally and physically well, and once again, stay happy.

    It amazes me that anyone can listen to this hymn and feel anything but love and praise for our Lord. In reflecting on the words, have always felt deeply called to listen more closely to how God may be calling me, where is he leading me, how am I to respond to His call to me? It is troubling to hear people so filled with rancor - that they become distracted from the message in the hymn - by the visual. Stop watching and just listen and ponder over the meaning of the words. Do your words of defamation add anything positive to the discussion? May He touch your heart and may you feel him calling - in the days and in the nights.
