Samuel 3:1-10
A child once dreamed the
Voice was calling his name . . . “Samuel!”
Fisherman once heard the
Voice when a young man from Galilee bid them follow.
And still the Voice calls
out today . . . can you hear it?
Here I am. Send me.
Moses protested vehemently
as the Voice spoke at the burning bush.
Mary stood amazed as the Voice
proclaimed impending birth.
And still the Voice calls
out today . . . can you hear it?
Here I am. Send me.
Rosa Parks followed the
Voice to the front of the bus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
heard the Voice even in the midst of unspeakable violence.
And still the Voice calls
out today . . . can you hear it?
Here I am. Send me.
The Voice beckons from
humble places—from the tears of hungry children, the cries of the frail, the
longing of the lonely, the pleas of those whose dreams have been too long
deferred.
And still the Voice calls
out today . . . can you hear it?
Here I am. Send me.
