A while back I woke up singing the chorus of this song.
I guess part of this song is a response to my personal conviction that the United States is about to enter a pretty grim time, and that the Church is going to be required to step up and step out in ways that most of us haven't managed quite yet. My prayer is that I and the part of the church that I am involved with will be equipped to walk in a way that is worthy of the Master.
Sending
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out
To be salt and light
You send us into the world as sheep
Knowing wolves will be there.
Help us to trust that we
Are under the Shepherd's care.
Help us be wise as snakes,
But gentle as doves.
Help us remember
We're serving a God who loves.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out
To be kings and priests.
Help us to share the truth
That gave us new birth
Praying Your Kingdom
Will fill the earth.
Sharing the Gospel truth
That sets people free.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out.
Sending, sending, sending
You are sending us out
To be children of God
Sending, sending, sending,
You are sending us out
To be daughters and sons of God.
