[Intro - tolling bell, slide guitar, organ] [Verse 1 - deep gritty voice, sparse] The hands that hung the stars like lanterns never shook and never tired He was old when the mountains were young, He is the ancient fire He is not a distant thunder and He is not a fading flame He is the Lord, He is a warrior, and the Lord of hosts His name [Build - hand claps, organ swelling] Not by the might of man, nor by the strength of hands But by His Spirit alone [Chorus - full band, low male voices underneath] Holy, holy, Lord of hosts Heaven and earth are full of Your glory Yours is the power, Yours is the throne So here am I, Lord — send me! [Verse 2 - dark, organ under, brushed drums] They drove the iron through the hands that held the water and the flame He did not call the angels down, He carried all the blame Then the third day cracked the silence and the grave began to shake And death let go of every debt it had no right to take [Build - hand claps, organ swelling] Not by the might of man, nor by the strength of hands But by His Spirit alone [Chorus - full band, low male voices underneath] Holy, holy, Lord of hosts Heaven and earth are full of Your glory Yours is the power, Yours is the throne So here am I, Lord — send me! [Verse 3 - driving, slide guitar break after] So I am not going out to conquer, that was finished at the cross I am going out in mercy for the hurting and the lost The love of Christ compels me and it will not let me stand So put the strength that raised Him in these ordinary hands [Bridge - everything stops, one voice and a bell] Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Worthy is the Lamb [Final Chorus - biggest, full organ and band] Holy, holy, Lord of hosts Heaven and earth are full of Your glory Yours is the power, Yours is the throne This is the day that You have made Send me out in Your love, not my own So here am I, Lord — send me! [Outro - bell tolling, organ fading] Put the strength that raised Him in these ordinary hands Here am I, Lord — send me!
