Send Us

For years they thundered boldly
From the pulpits across our land
They firmly guided churches
With the Bible in their hand
But now their shadows lengthen
The course they run will end
And who will take their places
Who will our Lord send

Here we are Lord
Send us
(Send us)
This mantle to us they do entrust
(Entrust)
Give us a double portion
That we may do Thy will
(Thy will)
Here we are Lord
Send us
That we may do them honor
Whose shoes we're called to fill

Your grace has brought us thus far
But we cannot live in the past
We need a fresh anointing
To accomplish this daunting task
We come with fear and trembling
(Ooh)
Our flesh too weak for the call
But Your Spirit is strong within us
(Ah)
We bravely sing to all
Sing to all

We plead with the next generation
Whose blessings they've reaped from the past
Oh won't you come and join us
While opportunity lasts
The race is set before us
Our course for God is begun
The baton is being handed
Who will our Lord send

Here we are Lord
Send us
(Send us)
This mantle to us they do entrust
(Entrust)
Give us a double portion
That we may do Thy will
(Thy will)
Here we are Lord
Send Us
That we may do them honor
Whose shoes we're called to fill

Oh send us Lord
Send us
Lord send us
