Send Me

There’s a welfare mother in a one room shack
Where the cold wind whistles like a train through the cracks
O Lord send me

There’s an old bum lying on a sidewalk bed
And nobody cares if he’s sleeping or if he’s dead
O Lord send me

There’s a ten-year-old crying from her daddy’s fist
And she swears her own kid won’t ever have to live like this
O Lord send me

There’s a dying leper with a new disease
He’s scared and lonely for some comfort, lord please send me
O Lord send me

There’s an unwed mother who’s a child herself
And she’s gonna kill her baby ’cause she doesn’t know where to
find help
O Lord send me

There’s a brother in a jail of a foreign land
All his prayers are watched and his Bibles are banned
O Lord send me

There’s a Lebanese kid from the battle zone
Still praying for the peace he’s never known
O Lord send me

There’s an old man waiting on a rest home lawn
No friends, no family, no reason why he should even try to live on
O Lord send me

There’s an angry young slave in an African mine
And he’s running out of patience and peace is running out of time
O Lord send me

There’s a planet hell-bent on suicide
And they haven’t even heard why Jesus lived and died
O Lord send me
Dear god send me
