Here I Am, Lord, arr. Ovid Young

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 snow and rain,
I have born my peoples pain.
I have wept for love of them, They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word 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.


My heart goes out to the victims in the Philippines who face tragedy from Typhoon Haiyan. Lord, let Your name be praised through trials and tribulation that we don't even understand.

For All the Saints

Hymns:
For All the Saints
God Be With You Till We Meet Again

Prayer:
I Love the Lord

I love the Lord,
because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
"Oh Lord, I beseech thee, save my life!"
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
I walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
What shall I render to the Lord
for all his bounty to me?
 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord,
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
Precious is the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
O Lord, I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou has loosed my bonds.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of  the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. 
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 116:1-3a, 3c-9, 12-19

Hymn: 
When All Thy Mercies, O My God
