Here I am Lord, it is I lord.......? Did you roll your eyes or did you pick up the mistake. I realized this morning I have been singing this one wrong for a while. What I had taken to be an offering - "it is I Lord..." turns out to be a question, "Is it I Lord...?" Interesting I thought to myself - and am pondering the difference still. There are many things which I am asking God "Is it I...?" about but that fundamental call which this song picks up on is something I am not questioning it is me, it is me that God calls in night and in the day, at the best times and at the worst times. I think that is why I was singing it wrong all this time - I was going back to that fundamental call of Isaiah - that vision - that "send me" moment. Whilst life is a series of rediscovering this moment and perhaps never really understanding where it came from that moment of commitment when we hand our life over to Christ is a moment of forever change - a moment when we say - yes it is me, yes it will always be me for the rest of my life.
God calls, we answer - that is a process. God calls, we answer - that changes us for ever. These two things are at once now and for ever. It is me, is it me? God has blessed and God will lead. Blessed be His holy name.
