Here Am I Oh Lord Send Me- Happy Easter, Nation

Old Gospel on DGB CBG and tin sandwich.

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey colt to the adulation of multitudes. Things can turn to shit in a hurry. A few days later he was betrayed, beaten, mocked and crucified. Had to suck, but had to be done. Then He was resurrected for the salvation of all who believe. Awesome deal.

Here are the lyrics and chords as I hear
them. I is a G, IV is a C and V is a D.

Don’t you [I] hear my Savior calling?
Who will [IV] go and work to- [I] day?
The fields are ripe and the harvest waiting.
Who will bare the [V] sheaves a-[I] way?

Chorus:
Here am [I] I, Lord. Please send me.
Here am [IV] I, Lord. Please [I] send me. Here am I, Lord. Please send me.
Here am I oh [V] Lord send [I] me.
 
If you can not speak like angels.
If you can not preach like Paul.
You can tell, the love of Jesus.
You can say He died for us all. (Chorus}
 
Hark, the voice of Jesus callin’.
Who will go and work today?
The fields are ripe and Harvest waiting.
Who will bear the sheaves away?

Instrumental & final chorus

Thanks, Hound, Rob and Chris.  That's a pretty fun and easy song ~ and with a message.  I know it from a Mississippi John Hurt CD , but kind of did it my own way.

Great job UJ! Felt like being down there in the south at a church 100 years ago.
