F                           C7
So send I you to labour unrewarded
                                     F
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown
                                   Bb
To bear rebuke, ot suffer scorn and scoffing
         F               C7  F
So send I you to toil for Me alone

So send I you to bind the bruised and broken
Over wandering souls to work, to weep, to wake
To bear the burdens of a world a-weary
So send I you to suffer for My sake

So send I you to loneliness and longing
With hart a-hungering for tthe loved and known
Forsaking kin and kindred, friend and dear one
So send I you to know My love alone

So send I you to leave your life's ambition
To die to dear desire, self-will resign
To labour long, and love where men revile you
So send I you to lose your life in Mine

So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred
To eyes made blind because they will not see
To spend, though it be blood to spend and spare not
So send I you to taste of Calvary

Bb     Am          C7   F   Bb C7     F
"As the Father hath sent me, so send I you"

I really, really love this song. I want to join Him in the mud, the rain, the trenches, the tears, the sorrows, the pain. To weep with Him is far, far better than to laugh without Him. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
