HERE I AM, LORD

"Here I Am, Lord" is a deeply moving hymn of vocation and response, drawing its text from the calling of the prophet Isaiah. In the choir loft, it is a beloved choice for Communion, ordinations, and moments of personal dedication, inviting both the singers and the congregation to reflect on God's call.

The verses are sung from the perspective of God, expressing a profound love and concern for His people—whether they are dwelling in darkness, bearing pain, or hungering for the finest bread. The refrain shifts to the voice of the faithful, answering that divine call with a willing heart. This solfa arrangement by Yuosembom-Sintieh E. K. captures the gentle, flowing momentum of Dan Schutte's original melody, building to an earnest pledge to hold God's people in our hearts.
