Oto jestem

Here I am Lord
- tłum. z angielskiego P. Orkisz (1998) 

Ja, światłości Bóg i Pan, 
Usłyszałem ludzki płacz. 
Tym, co brną przez noc i grzech, 
Dłoń podać chcę.                                       
Zapaliłem milion gwiazd,
Każdą noc zamienię w blask,
Lecz kto chciałby światło me
Wprost do nich nieść? 

Ref.:        Oto jestem, jeśli zechcesz....
                Czy to mnie wołałeś w tamtą noc?
                Chętnie Panie, pójdę z Tobą, 
                Będę ludziom głosić Miłość Twą. 

Ja im dałem deszcz i śnieg,                                
Każdy ból ich rani mnie,                                     
Więc za miłość moją też                                    
Miłości chcę.                                                     
Ale zetrę kamień z serc
I nauczę kochać je.
Lecz kto chciałby Słowo me
Wprost do nich nieść? (Ref.) 

Mnie posłuszny wiatr i grom,                                      
We mnie biedak ma swój dom.                           
Ucztę swą zgotuję im                                        
W pałacu mym.                                         
Chleba dar obfity dam
w serca radość wleję Wam.
Lecz kto chciałby Życie me
wprost do nich nieść? (Ref.)  

Here I Am, Lord

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, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Ref.:   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.

  

2. I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne My people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them.
Whom shall I send?

3. 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 live to them.
Whom shall I send?
