Text Based On Acts Chapter 26 (KJV)
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles,
unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes,
and to turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Lyrics/Verses/Key/v5/F/
SO SEND I THEE
1.
So send I thee – to labour unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing,
So send I thee – to toil for Me alone.
2.
So send I thee – to bind the bruised and broken,
O’er wand’ring souls to work, to weep, to wake,
To bear the burdens of a world aweary-
So send I thee – to suffer for My sake.
3.
So send I thee – to loneliness and longing,
With heart a-hungering for the loved and known;
Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one,
So send I thee – to know My love alone.
4.
So send I thee – to leave thy life’s ambitions,
To die to dear desire, self-will resign,
To labour long and love where men revile thee,
So send I thee – to lose thy life in Mine.
5.
So send I thee – to hearts made hard by hatred,
To eyes made blind because they will not see,
To spend, tho’ it be blood, to spend and spare not-
So send I thee – to taste of Calvary.
