Who Am I That I Should Go?

Who Am I That I Should Go?

[Refrain]
Set my people free.

[Verse 1]
I cannot go, I am despised.
My lips are uncircumcised.
And my tongue, it's so clumsy.
They won't listen, don't You see?

[Refrain]
I will be with you.
Set my people free.

[Verse 2]
Surely not me, small and weak?
Show it's You, by fleece of sheep.
Wet the fleece and show it's true.
I would go, just if I knew.

[Refrain]
I will be with you.
Set my people free.

[Verse 3]
But, don't You know, I'm too young,
A child with untried tongue.
I do not know how to speak,
My wisdom's poor, words are weak.

[Refrain]
I will be with you.
Set my people free.

[Verse 4]
I'm no son of a prophet,
A herdsman is all you've got,
A fig dresser, nothing more.
What could You use this man for?

[Refrain]
I will be with you.
Set my people free.

[Verse 5]
Depart from me, I'm unclean,
The most sinful man You've seen.
Just an unschooled fisherman—
How can I fulfil Your plan?

[Refrain]
I will be with you.
Set my people free.

[Coda]
He said: go, make disciples
From all lands, from all peoples.
Baptize them, the name is one,
Name of Father, Spirit, Son.
Teach them to know and follow
In the way He said to go.
And behold, He is with us
To the end of the ages.

[Versicle 1 (Ezekiel 36:26)]
I'll give you a heart that's new;
Put a new spirit in you.

[Response 1]
Turn my heart
Mould my soul
Not just part
But my whole

[Versicle 2 (Isaiah 41:13, 64:8)]
Fear not, for your hand I hold;
You're my clay, for me to mould.

[Response 2]
Cleanse my ear
Win my will
Quell my fear
Make me still

[Versicle 3 (Jeremiah 23:23, 29:13)]
When you seek with all you are,
You will find me, I'm not far.

[Response 3]
Soothe my mind
So I hear
Help me find
You in prayer

[Versicle 4 (John 6:37,44)]
Those whom I call, all will come,
Unless I call, there'd be none.

[Response 4]
Save You draw
I can't seek
You make sure
We will meet

[Versicle 5 (1 Peter 2:9)]
I called you out of darkness,
To my light most marvellous.

You invite
Summon me
Into light
And I'll see

[Versicle 6 (Psalm 32:8)]
I will teach and I will say,
Here's the path, this is the way.

[Response 6]
In this place
Here You show
What to face
How to go

[Versicle7 (Psalm 16:11)]
At my right hand is pleasure,
Fullness of joy forever.

[Response 7]
Bathed in light
'Fore Your throne
I delight
I am home
