Send Me

Our oldest son has written a song. We'd like to share the lyrics with you. We are reminded that when the Lord calls us, he calls our children as well. Moving to Boston is part of their story as much as it is ours.

I walk through your churches and I walk through your temples
I walk through your holy place.
I hear all the priests and I hear all the people say:
Send me, oh send me, cause here I am.
Send me, oh send me somewhere in this land.
Send me, oh send me, Oh Lord of all.
Send me, oh send me, cause you make the call.

I hear the bells ringing, I hear people singing on your holy day.
I hear people rejoicing and praising and wanting to say:
Send me, oh send me, cause here I am.
Send me, oh send me somewhere in this land.
Send me, oh send me, Oh Lord of all.
Send me, oh send me, cause you make the call.

I see blind men, I see old beggars who don't know your Holy Name.
That makes me sad and that makes me mad.
That makes me want to say:
Send me, oh send me, cause here I am.
Send me, oh send me somewhere in this land.
Send me, oh send me, Oh Lord of all.
Send me, oh send me, cause you make the call.
