Meaning & Inspiration
Send Me is a missions song that answers the call of Jesus with willing surrender. The first verse hears the Savior calling the singer to take up the cross and follow, and responds with a heart given in sweet surrender and a joy in saying yes. The chorus is a short, repeated plea, "Send me," promising to go anywhere.
The second verse turns to prayer for every nation to hear His name lifted high, and speaks of the Church and its children finding joy in saying yes to Him. The bridge repeats a resounding yes, a promise to trust all of the singer's days, and a determination to shine the light of Jesus until His name is heard in the darkest place. The themes follow Isaiah 6:8, Luke 9:23 and Matthew 28:19-20. The brief, repeated chorus makes the song simple for a congregation to pray together, with an earnest, committed tone.
