20 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
–John 17:20-23 (NIV)–

Here am I
Send me Lord
In my weakness I know you will be strong
Here am I
Empow’r me
Stretch out your hand to heal the sick
Stretch out your arm and set the prisoners free
Come fill me
With mercy
Send me out to heal the broken-hearted
Come fill me
With boldness
I will speak your words of life
I will go in your authority
Oh, oh
–Vineyard Music, Brian Doerksen, “Here Am I”–
