Lyrics
VERSE 1
If it’s bandaging the broken
Or washing filthy feet
Here I am Lord, send me
If it’s loving one another
Even when we don’t agree
Here I am Lord, send me
VERSE 2
If I’m poor or if I’m wealthy
I’ll serve You just the same
Here I am Lord, send me
On the mountain or the valley
I will choose to praise
Here I am Lord, send me
CHORUS
If I’m known by how I love
Let my life reflect how much I love You
I love You
And before You even ask
Oh my answer will be yes
‘Cause I love You
Oh I love You
VERSE 3
If the truth cuts like an arrow
I will say it anyway
‘Cause here I am Lord, send me
If it’s means that they’ll reject me
Lord I will still obey
‘Cause here I am Lord, send me
VERSE 4
When I’m standing in Your glory
I’ll be glad I chose to say
Here I am Lord, send me
Well done good and faithful
I live to hear You say
Here I am Lord, send me
TAG
Here I am Lord, send me
Here I am Lord, send me
SPONTANEOUS
Oh how I love You
With everything
With all my dreams, all my hopes
How I love You
You can have it all, You can have it all
You can have it all
What I have I give You God
Be it unto me according to Your word

Meaning & Inspiration
“Send Me” is a prayer of willing service that applies obedience to ordinary and costly situations alike. Bandaging wounds, washing feet, loving across disagreement, speaking truth, and remaining faithful through rejection all become possible answers to God’s call. The contrast between poverty and wealth, mountain and valley, shows a commitment that is not meant to depend on comfort or circumstances.
The title refrain closely echoes Isaiah 6:8, where the prophet answers God’s call with the words, “Here am I; send me.” John 13:14-15 supports the image of washing feet as Jesus gives his disciples an example of humble service. The desire to hear “well done” also reflects Matthew 25:21 and its commendation of a faithful servant. Across these biblical echoes, love is presented as the measure of obedience: praise, truthfulness, service, and surrender flow from devotion to God. The closing spontaneous lines extend that response by offering hopes, dreams, and possessions without reservation.
