Send Me

Jesus said it. Now I'm saying it too.

Somebody said this day would come
I never thought it would
Somebody said that I feel this way
But I never thought I could

Now soul is yearning there’s a fire that burning
The truth never felt so right and so good

Chorus
There’s a light inside that’s leading me on
And a voice that’s calling my name
And for all I believe I will go where he leads
Put my life in heaven’s hand
I know I can here I am send me

Somebody knows all of my fears
And all that I have to know
But somebody sees the person I’ll be
When faithfully I return
So I bear my witness of his mercy and forgiveness
Safe in his footsteps I’m ready to serve

With a light inside that’s leading me on
And the voice that’s calling my name
And for all I believe I will where he leads
Put my life in heaven’s hand
I know I can here I am send me

There’s a light inside that’s leading me on
And a voice that’s calling my name
And for all I believe I will go where he leads
Put my life in heaven’s hand
I understand this is his plan
Here I am Send Me.

It's official! I'm serving an LDS mission and I turn in my papers TOMORROW!!!
I understand this means giving up A LOT and it will be hard, and there will be days when I hate it, but Jesus gave EVERYTHING to me and He suffered for all of my sins so I could return to him. I can give him a year and a half of my life.

He never said it would be easy, He only said it would be worth it.

If we are the Body

I love this song because it makes us realize just going to Church isn't enough. Even preaching the Gospel isn't enough. We must LIVE the Gospel and reach out to ALL- even those of your faith!

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus is the way
