HERE I AM
(Sylvia Merle Green)

The Hoppers (with Connie Hopper)


1st verse:
On that resurrection morning, when the redeemed are gath'ring in; 
I'll be in that royal number, when they call my name.  
When they all join in and sing, "Alleluia to the King!"  
I'll cry with a joyful sound, "Lord, here I am."

chorus:  Here I am, here I am!  
I'm the one the Shepherd left the fold and found.  
There were ninety and nine, but He left the fold to find
One little lost lamb, and here I am.

2nd verse
When old Gabriel blows the trumpet, and we rise up in the air, 
In less time than a split second, we'll be changed from here to there; 
Where there'll be no grief or pain, perfect peace and joy shall reign, 
Home at last I shall proclaim, "Lord, here I am."
