Christus Rex Est - Send Me (Lyrics in the Description)

Lyrics I don't need a stage beneath my feet I don't need a thousand eyes on me I don't need my words remembered Or my face upon the wall If You give me something small to carry I'll be faithful with it all Put me where the work is waiting Where no one knows I've been Let the fruit outlive the worker Let the glory all be Yours in the end No crown for me No monument I have nothing You didn't give So take the breath inside my lungs And use it while I live Send me! Wherever You would have me go Send me! To the places no one knows If I'm seen or I'm forgotten If I'm welcomed or refused Let my life become an offering Spent completely for You Send me! Not for honor, not for fame Send me! I don't need them knowing my name When the work is done And everything I've given is through Let them never praise the servant Let the glory belong to You Give me hands prepared for service Give me knees prepared to bend Give me words when truth needs speaking Give me silence when it doesn't Teach me how to disappear Behind the message that I bring So they don't leave remembering me But remembering the King If obedience costs comfort If the road costs everything You are worthy of the answer Before I know what You will ask of me Send me! Wherever You would have me go Send me! To the places no one knows If I'm seen or I'm forgotten If I'm welcomed or refused Let my life become an offering Spent completely for You Send me! Not for honor, not for fame Send me! I don't need them knowing my name When the work is done And everything I've given is through Let them never praise the servant Let the glory belong to You If it's preaching to a multitude Send me If it's speaking to just one Send me If it's labor no one notices Send me If I'm never thanked when it's done Send me If it's giving when it hurts me Send me If it's standing when I stand alone Send me If You call me somewhere difficult Send me My life was never mine to own Here I am! Send me! Strip away the need for praise Strip away the need to rise Kill the hunger for attention Kill the pride behind my eyes No applause! No acclaim! No kingdom built around my name! Only Christ! Only truth! Everything I have— For You! Send me! Wherever You would have me go Send me! Even if I go alone Let me spend what You have given Till there's nothing left to prove I don't want the world to notice me I want them looking unto You Send me! Not for honor, not for fame Send me! Let me decrease along the way And when my race is finished Let this be all that mattered in the end: I heard You call. I answered You. Here I am. Send me.
