Christ is made the sure foundation

Ecumenical Celebration at Westminster Abbey, City of Westminster, 17 September 2010

This hymn is drawn from a Latin meditation on the New Jerusalem. Some scholars think the original work may have been used as a dedication for a new church building.

But in this translation, John Neale clearly identified the “temple” as the people of the church. this is where Christ lives, not in walls of stone, but in the hearts of people whose lives belong to Him

Here I Am Lord
Sung by John Michael Talbot

I the lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save
I have made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall i send?

Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go Lord
If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart

I the lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save
Finest bread i will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them
Whom shall i send?
