Sent Out!

He left behind
the glory of heaven
for life on earth,
the majesty
of his divinity
to become
a human being,
the accolades
of angels
to be despised
and rejected of men,
nailed to a cross -
sent by the Father
to do the Father’s will.

Risen,
victorious,
glorious,
he calls us,
choosing
human
hearts and hands
to do his will.
Forgiving
and living
by his Spirit
within us,
he enables us
to be his Body,
sent out
into the world
in Jesus’ name!

Lord, here I am!
Send me!
