The Legacy of Fanny Crosby and “Lord, Here I Am”
Fanny Crosby, a prolific hymn writer, penned “Lord, Here I Am” as a testament to her unwavering faith and dedication to God. Despite losing her sight at a young age, Crosby’s profound spirituality and resilience shone through her hymns, touching countless lives. Her lyrics continue to resonate with believers worldwide, offering solace and encouragement through their timeless messages.
Here are the lyrics to “Lord, Here I Am”:
Master, Thou callest, I gladly obey;
only direct me, and I’ll find Thy way.
Teach me the mission appointed for me,
what is my labor, and where it shall be.
Refrain:
Master, Thou callest, and this I reply,
“Ready and willing, Lord, here am I.”
Willing, my Savior, to take up the cross;
willing to suffer reproaches and loss.
Willing to follow, if Thou wilt but lead;
only support me with grace in my need. [Refrain]
Living, or dying, I still would be Thine;
yet I am mortal while Thou art divine.
Pardon, whenever I turn from the right;
pity, and bring me again to the light. [Refrain]
