154. Sent by the Lord
Sent by the Lord am I;
my hands are ready now to make the earth
the place in which the kingdom comes.
Sent by the Lord am I;
my hands are ready now to make the earth
the place in which the kingdom comes.
The angels cannot change a world of hurt and pain
into a world of love, of justice and of peace.
The task is mine to do, to set it truly free.
Oh, help me to obey; help me to do your will.
